East of downtown Petoskey, this cozy 4 bedroom, 3 bathroom ranch offers rural views and authentic Up North living. Solid wood beams frame a vaulted ceiling and light-filled entry. The kitchen takes center stage with stainless steel appliances, a 6 burner gas stove and generous amount of countertop space. The roomy walk-in pantry keeps everything you need close at hand and well organized with floor to ceiling built-ins. To the left of the kitchen is a separate wing with bed and full bath. This arrangement provides great flexibility for a gameroom getaway, overnight guests, mother-in-law suite or even rental income. Three full bathrooms provide plenty of space, including an en-suite primary bath with shower and subway tile, plus a hallway bathroom with a luxuriously deep soaking tub. Newer windows, water softener, and well maintained HVAC make this an easy and efficient home to enjoy. Outside you have room to do what suits you: relax around a fire pit, grill your dinner, or build that chicken coop you've been dreaming about. Yearning to be on the water? Put the kayak on the roof and head for the lake. A quick drive to iconic Northern Michigan fishing, hiking, biking and skiing beats a crowded and expensive resort stay any day. The lot is ringed with a perfect mix of beautiful birch and hardwoods on the perimeter. Close enough to all the amenities of downtown Petoskey, this ranch with a rural view could be just right for a vacation home or year-round home sweet home.
