Welcome home, tucked into the woods on 2.25 acres of hemlocks and hardwoods and just 9 miles to Traverse City is where you'll love to call home. This "certified green home" built by Steinorth Fine Homes is 5-star energy efficient rated and has been featured in Fine Homebuilding's Houses magazine and The Energy Smart House book. It won 5 awards in the 2006 Parade of Homes. From the wrap-around covered front porch to the well thought out interior plan, you will enjoy all the seasons from the many windows. This home lives large because many spaces do double duty. There is a 12 x 14 island kitchen with a farmhouse sink, soapstone counter and lots of south-facing windows. The great room with vaulted ceiling is a great spot to gather with friends by the fireplace or watch TV, which is hidden behind a custom sliding barn door. There is a main floor guest room and a 3/4 bath. The 10 x 18 screened porch offers porcelain tile and oversized sliding doors creating an indoor-outdoor effect. The mudroom boasts comfortable cork flooring, a dog shower/utility sink, 2 closets, a walk-in pantry and a laundry area with laundry chute from the master closet. Never worry about the pets as they have their own "door" to the outside kennel. Upper level offers a loft/work area, a master suite with deep cast-iron soaking tub, an oversized tile shower and a walk-in closet. The lower level is unfinished and plumbed for a third bath with insulated floor, creating great potential for more living space. Direct propane hookup for the grill on the porch, flagstone pathway and fire pit and all native natural landscaping - no need for a mower. Perennials bloom from spring to fall for an abundance of color. Enjoy 7 miles of trails out your door at the 320-acre Cedar Run Creek Natural Area.
