Petoskey - MLS# 479855

There's a difference between a house that was built and a home that was crafted. Tucked into a private setting in Petoskey's sought-after Silver Creek neighborhood—a short distance from downtown, dining, and the schools—this 2020-built 4-bedroom, 2-bath home is the latter. From the moment you arrive, this place feels like somewhere you'd want to stay. The split main floor opens the living room, dining area, and custom kitchen—large island, spacious countertops, 43-inch upper cabinets, drawer-style lower base cabinets, pot filler, Energy Star appliances, and above-and-below LED cabinet lighting—around a wood-burning fireplace. Large windows frame the composite-decked patio and the private yard beyond, where the property slopes through mixed hardwoods to a meandering stream. The main-floor primary suite with walk-in closet offers a quiet place to land. Two additional bedrooms, a full bath, and main-floor laundry complete the level. The finished lower level adds a fourth bedroom, a dedicated office, an expansive family/rec room, and convenient storage. The oversized, finished 3-car garage with 8-foot doors, additional parking, and a 10x12 storage shed with composite decking floor are ready for everything Northern Michigan life requires. Built to perform: R-24 wall insulation, R-49 ceiling insulation, 96% high-efficiency gas furnace, 16 SEER AC, and ERV whole-house ventilation. Silver Creek's association trails, a footpath to a footbridge over the creek, common green space just across the street, and quiet community atmosphere make it easy to put down roots. A nearby public boat launch provides access to Pickeral Lake, Crooked Lake, and the Inland Waterway. Two adjoining lots are available separately—an opportunity to create even more privacy.
