Situated on a double lot in downtown Petoskey, this beautifully maintained home offers an exceptional combination of space, privacy, and location. Perched atop Howard Street hill, the property enjoys what many consider to be one of the most picturesque approaches into downtown, with charming views and an elevated setting. The home features four bedrooms and three-and-a-half baths, including a spacious main floor primary suite with a private bath and generous walk-in closet. A second bedroom suite is tucked away on the lower level, complete with its own bathroom and direct exterior access, creating an ideal retreat for guests, extended family, or a home office. The main living area is warm and inviting, centered around a fireplace and flowing seamlessly into the dining room. A sun-filled sitting room, surrounded by windows and currently used as a plant-filled conservatory, provides a peaceful space to relax and enjoy natural light throughout the day. The kitchen is located at the rear of the home and connects to a spacious mudroom and laundry area. Outside, the two-car garage provides ample storage and is topped by a large rooftop deck—an outstanding setting for summer entertaining, outdoor dining, or enjoying evening sunsets. The fully fenced backyard is a true highlight, offering abundant gardens and green space. Tucked into the back corner of the property is a charming cabin complete with a wood-burning fireplace, creating a cozy space for gatherings, hobbies, or quiet evenings. Just moments from downtown Petoskey, local parks, schools, shopping, and dining, this property presents a rare opportunity to enjoy in-town living with the space and amenities typically found in a much larger setting. A truly special home that must be experienced to be fully appreciated.
