Set on a private, wooded 2.3-acre corner lot just minutes from Traverse City, this thoughtfully custom-built Williamsburg home offers over 3,500 sq ft of finished living and storage space with major recent updates throughout. Combining peaceful privacy, modern improvements, and flexible living areas—including a heated garage, bonus room, and partially finished basement—this property delivers the space and setting Northern Michigan buyers are looking for. This move-in-ready 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath home—with potential for a 5th bedroom in the basement—features an open and inviting layout ideal for both comfortable daily living and entertaining. The spacious kitchen offers abundant cabinetry and flows into a bright breakfast nook overlooking the private backyard. Multiple living areas, including a large family room and lower-level recreation room, provide excellent flexibility. Recent updates include brand-new roof shingles (2024), furnace (2022), hot water heater (2023), and washer, dryer, and refrigerator (2024). The heated 24x24 attached garage offers year-round convenience, while the bonus room above provides ideal space for a home office, guest room, or hobbies. The partially finished lower level includes an egress window and generous storage. Professionally designed landscaping by Landscape Logic (2022) features a boulder retaining wall, stone steps, and thoughtfully designed outdoor spaces. A fenced backyard with double access gates enhances privacy while complementing the natural wooded setting. The back deck overlooks mature hardwoods and peaceful surroundings. Located in the highly regarded Elk Rapids Schools district, the property is just minutes from Elk Lake, Torch Lake, Sand Lakes Quiet Area, the VASA Trail system, Grand Traverse Resort golf courses, and the shopping, dining, and year-round amenities of Traverse City. This exceptional property offers a rare combination of acreage, privacy, recent updates, and a desirable location.
