Nestled among mature trees on a wooded 5-acre tract in Benzie County, the interior of this adorable cottage has been redesigned and rebuilt "from the studs up." The result is a strikingly stylish move-in-ready home with vaulted ceilings, skylights, and a wood-burning fireplace - complete with a large stash of wood. Natural wood finishes accent the Scandinavian design appeal of this home in the North Woods. The large kitchen features skylights and new cabinets, countertops, appliances, washer/dryer and artistic lighting. An equally large primary bedroom has charming clerestory windows and access to a rear deck.A second bedroom, with its vaulted ceiling and skylight, is perfect for guests, kids, or a home office. The blue-tiled bath includes tub/shower, sink and vanity, storage cabinet, and wall heater. New in 2023: all electricity, plumbing, appliances, light fixtures, interior and exterior doors (except for two exterior double doors), insulation, walls, subfloors, floors, circle driveway, well, well pump and water lines. Central heat and air provided by an ecological mini-split. New in 2025: Propane wall furnace and septic tank. Location is central to Interlochen, Beulah, Traverse City, Lake Michigan, Crystal Lake, Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore, and wild rivers for fishing, swimming, kayaking and canoeing. Enjoy the North Woods in every season. Trails wind through this acreage, creating opportunities for hiking, cross-country skiing, or snowshoeing in your own private woods. Multiple feeders attract a wide variety of indigenous birds, and neighborhood chipmunks will eat peanuts right out of your hand - really! Or if you choose, potential exists for dividing this lot into two 2.5 acre tracts, as has been done with zoning permission in this vicinity. Whether you are looking for a year-round home or an Up North getaway, this property combines extensive improvements with the landscape and lifestyle that make Benzie County "the most beautiful place in America."
