Few properties capture the soul of country living quite like 10970 Burnett Road-a charming home with a private, natural setting near Bay Shore, just minutes from Charlevoix, Boyne City, and Petoskey. Decades of devoted gardening have produced an English cottage garden, heritage maples, ornamental and fruit-bearing trees, perennial beds, and a raspberry patch that together transform every season into something worth stepping outside for. A neighboring ravine provides a peaceful, private setting... perfect habitat for birdwatching. A freshly stained deck with gazebo, sun sails, and a hot tub area with 60-amp electrical service invites long evenings outdoors. A storage barn, potting shed, and fenced vegetable garden area ready to make your own! Inside, the inviting front entry opens to a sunroom addition with red oak hardwood floors and views of the deck and garden beyond. The kitchen and dining area anchor the heart of the home, warmed by a wood-burning fireplace. The main floor has laundry, pantry, and storage area conveniently located off the kitchen. Red oak hardwood floors continue through the living room, complemented by a wood stove that provides an economical heat source. The main floor also features a small bedroom/office with wood floors. Upstairs, a loft landing makes a natural reading nook or craft area. The primary suite offers a sitting area, new carpet, and private ensuite bath with a newly tiled surround and updated fixtures. A third bedroom rounds out the upper level. A full rewire and newly labeled 200-amp panel, updated kitchen plumbing, and double-pane windows throughout-all speaking to the care this home has received. The large attached, insulated and re-wired garage with wood stove, maple block workbench, and large dry wood storage area adds the perfect finishing touch. This is a property that simply has to be seen to be fully appreciated.
