Welcome to the country lifestyle you have been dreaming of just one mile from Lake City! Tucked along a quiet, county-maintained blacktop road, this well-maintained, two-owner ranch has been loved by families for many years. Offering approximately 2,100 square feet, three bedrooms, three full bathrooms, and an attached two-stall garage, there is plenty of space to settle in and make memories of your own. At the heart of the home is an open-concept kitchen featuring a center island, ample cabinetry, and a generously sized pantry. The adjoining dining area makes it easy to gather for family meals, while the breakfast nook is a wonderful place to enjoy your morning coffee. Open the slider and step onto the back deck for summer cookouts, peaceful evenings, or watching wildlife wander through the property. A large picture window fills the spacious living room with natural light. In addition to the main living area, the home offers a second, exceptionally spacious family room with a wood stove for gatherings, a game area, or simply relaxing together on cozy Northern Michigan evenings. A dedicated laundry area, three comfortable bedrooms, and three full bathrooms complete the practical, family-friendly layout. Additional conveniences include central air, a newer high-efficiency furnace, a newer hot water heater, and a whole-house generator for added comfort and peace of mind throughout every season. Step outside and discover 9.12 acres with a wonderful blend of open ground and woods. Approximately half of the property is wooded, creating privacy and opportunities for hunting, trail walking, wildlife watching, and year-round outdoor recreation. The open acreage provides room for gardening, outdoor games, pets, and gatherings around the campfire. A 48-by-28-foot barn in the backyard offers electric with concrete floors and then 4 horse stalls, there is abundant space for hobbies, projects, and all the toys that come with enjoying an Up North lifestyle.
