The covered porch extends the living space, creating an indoor-outdoor living experience for all seasons. The open kitchen includes an oversized island with a custom cherry wood live-edge top, and acacia wood butcher block countertops throughout. The main level features a spacious primary suite with an attached bath and a walk-in closet. The lower level of the home provides additional living space, with a family room, two bedrooms, two full bathrooms, a home fitness room, and a wet bar. The upper level of the house features a "mother-in-law" or "nanny suite" with a full kitchen, a laundry room, two bedrooms, a bathroom, and its own private exterior entrance, making it a perfect set up for guests or extended family members. This quiet retreat is within a very short driving distance of downtown Traverse City, Cherry Capital Airport, VASA Trail, Arbutus Lake public access point, and Brown Bridge Quiet Area, with 1,310 acres for public enjoyment.
