Countryside one-of-a-kind 4 BR farmhouse is situated on a delightful 2+ acres between the orchards along M-22 and the village of Bear Lake. This air-conditioned home has been maintained and well-loved and offers more than 2,000 square feet, with plenty of separate spaces for privacy. Some updates include most windows, flooring and a brand new roof. Main floor includes the primary bedroom with a sliding door to the deck, a recently updated full bath, the spacious, carpeted living and dining room and a large, fabulous kitchen with custom cabinetry, stainless appliances and porcelain tiled floor. Enjoy the cozy warmth in the main floor family room, with a newer gas insert in the fireplace surround that soars to a vaulted, beamed ceiling and a convenient 1/2 bath with a boat shower. Enjoy a heated, year-round sunroom for reading, working out, wildlife viewing or soaking in the sunshine. Upstairs are 3 BRs plus a room for your hobbies, office or TV. Personalize these rooms with your cosmetic touches. A high-efficiency, forced-air furnace and A/C heats and cools both levels and Spectrum cable service is available. Tinker on projects in the large workshop area with bench attached to the 40-ft. deep garage. The backyard deck presents relaxing views of adjoining farmland and woods, with spectacular birding opportunities from home and all along the nearby coast. Easy care landscaping includes flower boxes for your favorite blooms and kitchen herbs. A detached shed is ready for your lawn and garden equipment. Only 5 min by vehicle from here to Lake Michigan, a bit further to Bear Lake village, 6.5 miles to the two-lake town of Onekama and 10 miles to Arcadia swimming, boating, hiking and birdwatching, the latter at a mile-long boardwalk across one of the rare Great Lakes Coastal Marshes as well as other Arcadia area conservancy properties. Two acclaimed golf courses are a short drive away.
