    Located in Empire’s New Neighborhood community, this 3-bedroom, 3-bath home offers three finished levels and easy access to everything the village has to offer. A neighborhood path provides a quick route into town, and Empire Beach is about a five-minute bike ride or 12-minute walk away. The main floor is bright and open with vaulted ceilings, wood floors, and a floor-to-ceiling stone gas fireplace. Updates completed in 2023 include a new kitchen with alder cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, and built-in shelving, along with a new furnace, water heater, and exterior paint. The primary bedroom and a full bath with a tiled shower are also located on the main floor. Upstairs, you’ll find two additional bedrooms and another full bath. The finished lower level includes a third full bath and additional space that could be used as a family room, home gym, office, playroom, or hobby area. Outside, new native plantings provide attractive, low-maintenance landscaping. The home has a wooded common area behind it and an open meadow across the front. There is also a covered front porch, brick patio, and access to the neighborhood community garden. Other features include central air, a Generac whole-house generator, a standing-seam metal roof, and a 1.5-car garage. Located in the Glen Lake School District and close to beaches, trails, village amenities, and Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore.
