Property Details

Description

A lovely, high quality build located on a peaceful 1.25 acre lot in Elmwood Township of Leelanau County - only 10 minutes from downtown Traverse City - with views of West Grand Traverse Bay! This 3 bed/2.5 home combines comfort, efficiency, and thoughtful design and was proudly featured in the 2012 Parade of Homes. Built with sustainability in mind, this home received the highest possible Emerald Certification under the National Green Building Standards, along with the top-tier ENERGY STAR® rating. Every detail—from insulation choices to window placement and sizing—was meticulously considered to create a truly energy-efficient living environment that offers year-round comfort and low utility costs. The expansive main level offers main-level living, complete with a spacious primary ensuite, a large mudroom/laundry room, and an open-concept layout ideal for everyday living and entertaining. The chef’s kitchen is a standout, featuring generous granite countertops, abundant cabinetry, and a large island that is sure to be a gathering spot for friends and family. The walkout lower level provides even more functional living space and two additional bedrooms, ideal for guests, family, or hobbies. The back deck (composite decking) is a lovely spot to enjoy dinner amongst the treetops while taking in the West Bay views. Thoughtful landscaping surrounds the house. The oversized two car garage is finished (heated & insulated) and provides extra storage space, in addition to the approximately 500sqft unfinished storage/mechanical room in the basement. In floor radiant heat throughout the home provides comfort year round. The setting combines the best of both worlds - you get the peaceful, Leelanau County lifestyle while still being within TCAPS school district and just 10 minutes to Traverse City.
