A truly well-built, custom home with an exceptional eye to detail! This charming and genuinely lovely Cape Code style home will win you over with its covered front porch and tucked away, cul-de-sac setting before you even enter the front door. 11001 Pitch Apple is located in downtown Empire, near the famed Empire Beach, but is just enough on the outskirts that it's situated amongst orchards and adjoins national parkland, making it private, peaceful, and a true oasis. With four bedrooms (one being used as an office), three and one half bathrooms, an attached two car garage, a large, unfinished basement (that has been partially finished with an additional bathroom), there's ample space to breathe, spread out, and take in the stunning views. So much was gracefully considered when this home was built! Light flooding in to a cheerful, yellow kitchen with corner windows that frame the view, a very expansive family room, dining room, three season sunroom and office all adjacent to the kitchen and accessed by a mudroom space and laundry room area off the garage. Also located on this main floor is a formal living room with soaring ceilings, beautiful crown moulding detail, a two sided gas fireplace, powder room, primary bedroom with en suite bath and its own deck overlooking the orchard, as well as two other bedrooms and an additional full bathroom. This home was also built with central heat and air, is on natural gas, Empire town water, and its own, private septic system. There's even a full-house generator! Two back decks, one off the primary bedroom, and one of the living room space, offer outdoor dining, grilling and lounging. In the attached, two car garage, there is even a golf cart alcove (or as the owners affectionately call it, a "beach cart" alcove). Close to incredible beaches (Empire and Esch), hiking, biking, cross country skiing, shops, dining, inland lakes, Glen Lake, Glen Arbor, Traverse City, and more!
