Petoskey - MLS# 480162

Exquisitely maintained main floor living home, making it an ideal condominium alternative (no HOA dues), but with a new accessory building for your extra boats/cars/campers or as a hobby space or light home business, being that the pole building has its own designated driveway. The location is paramount, in Resort Township (lower Taxes) across the road from Bay Harbor, and just 10 minutes from Petoskey and 15 minutes from Boyne City and Charlevoix. Being directly between Lake Charlevoix and Walloon Lake, water access is easy; you have many launch options. Inside the home, you'll find a user-friendly floor plan with vaulted ceilings and skylights, creating a bright and happy environment. As for the layout, there's a luxurious primary suite in the rear east-facing portion of the home, and two additional bedrooms on the opposite side of the gourmet kitchen and open living space.  Hardwood floors, high-end appliances, cozy fireplace, A/C, spotless attached garage, and so much more. Every detail is perfect, and you will not find a cleaner, better cared-for home. What the current owners really enjoy is the outdoor living space. From the quintessential covered front porch and mature landscaping that shrouds the road (1701 Horton Bay is also set far away from the road) to the gracious rear deck and sun-drenched back yard looking over a bucolic setting with only the custom hardscape pathway to your pole building and private fire pit in the foreground of the vibrant green pasture that looks due east. This isn't your typical old country road homestead, but rather a custom home that's large enough for a family, retiree, or weekender who has occasional company, but it's not such an overwhelming footprint that it requires constant cleaning and old house maintenance issues.
