First time offered, and a rare opportunity to own an exceptionally well-built 1980s modern home set on over 3.5 acres of a wooded parcel in a highly desirable Petoskey location. Tucked well off the road and enveloped by pines, the property offers a remarkable sense of privacy, with the home barely visible from the street. The setting is truly exceptional-just outside the city limits for lower taxes, yet moments from Petoskey schools, Northmen Stadium, and miles of scenic trails in the Bay View woods directly across Mitchell Street. Downtown Petoskey is also within easy walking distance, offering the best of both convenience and seclusion. Custom built and designed to embrace its natural surroundings, the home features expansive windows and abundant natural light throughout. Inside, you'll find 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, complemented by soaring ceilings, two wood-burning fireplaces, and a light filled sunroom that invites year-round enjoyment. Newer boiler and water softener. HVAC system has been recently updated. An attached 2 car garage, and substantial storage areas provide flexibility, with ample opportunity to expand or reimagine additional living space. Architecturally distinctive and full of personality, this home offers a compelling blend of retro-modern charm and untapped potential. With thoughtful updates, it could be transformed into a truly stunning residence.
