    What's special

    Charming circa 1890 farmhouse, currently operated as the Sleeping Bear Bed and Breakfast, this five bedroom, five bathroom home, has been nicely upgraded over the years and would make a great family home. Two bedrooms on the main level each with private bathrooms, three on the upper level, one with a private bath, the other two share an additional one. Wonderfully appointed gourmet kitchen, Viking dual fuel range, Bosch dishwasher, 3 door refrigerator, island kitchen, granite counter tops, south facing dining room, wine cellar, new boiler system in 2107, and mini-split A/C units for cooling. Wonderful yard with beautiful gardens and outdoor living/kitchen areas, the perfect spaces to share with family and friends when you want to relax outside after a day touring the local wineries, enjoying the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore, bike riding, or any number of other fun activities you may choose. Some furnishings and equipment are available for sale. Several vintage out buildings provide lots of storage, heated workshop, and "potential" other uses, former ice house doubles as a cute garden/storage shed (would make a great sauna!), newer rebuilt garage/storage building. Come and live the Leelanau dream! Also offered with The Sleeping Bear Bed and Breakfast business component, MLS#1846806.
