Follow the paved driveway to a park-like, private 5 acres surrounding this 3 bedroom, 2 bath spacious ranch home north of Thompsonville and close to the Betsie River. This home has room to spare on the main level and also in the full unfinished basement and in the detached 30x40 pole building. This is a high-quality, prefabricated home designed for northern Michigan weather with its 2x6 walls and higher pitched roof. Family and living rooms on the main floor are separated by the huge eat-in kitchen with a pantry closet, large window above the sink, and plenty of natural light from dual skylights above the work island, with room for seating. A sliding door to the wraparound deck from the eat-in area supplies even more light and shares views of the backyard. A separate dining room off the living room includes a corner gas woodstove to chase the chill in colder weather. The family room could easily be used as a den, office or workout room, and cable TV and internet are available. Shade trees and central AC help to maintain a comfortable temperature and a new heat pump means lower utility costs. A third bathroom is plumbed in the basement, with a taller ceiling, anticipating your design for more rooms on this unfinished level. A second gas woodstove is installed to keep you cozy as you work. The convenient main floor laundry/mudroom leads outside where you can nurture the vegetables and flowers you plant in the current sunny garden spot, or care for the fruit trees already planted. Keep your tools in the storage/garden shed and park your vehicles in the pole barn with a cement floor, electric doors, workbench area and storage corner. Consider this your private, country oasis with a short, easy drive south to Thompsonville for village amenities and Crystal Mountain for skiing and golf, and a straightforward commute to west Honor or east to Interlochen and Traverse City. Take Bentley Road east for ATV and snowmobile trails.
