Nestled in a quiet and charming neighborhood just minutes from downtown Kalkaska, this cozy home radiates warmth and pride of ownership. Lovingly updated and maintained by the current owner, it's move-in ready and waiting for its next chapter. Step inside to find fresh paint throughout, creating an inviting and cheerful atmosphere. The island kitchen serves as the heart of the home, complete with a new pantry, updated windows, and a door that opens to a brand-new deck--installed this fall. Imagine starting your mornings here, enjoying your coffee while listening to music drifting over from the nearby Twin Birch Golf Course. Meanwhile, the fenced-in backyard provides peace of mind for families with children or furry friends, offering both privacy and space to unwind. Updates in the bathroom include modern tile in the shower and on the floor, adding both style and functionality. A newly installed mini-split heating system, combined with two heating zones, ensures comfort in every season. For those who love to entertain, the finished lower level delivers a unique bar area that's ideal for game days, movie nights, or casual get-togethers. The space also includes a double oven, thoughtfully added to accommodate the current owner's in-home bakery business, and offers ample storage throughout the basement, garage, and outdoor garden shed. Adventure lovers will adore the nearby Twin Birch Golf Course, which boasts more than just golf--think snowshoeing and biking trails, live music in the summer, and year-round activities. For even bigger adventures, hundreds of acres of state land and nearby snowmobile and ATV trails await just minutes away. And with Traverse City only a 25-minute drive, you'll appreciate the convenience for commuting, shopping, and dining. This delightful home offers the perfect blend of thoughtful updates, inviting spaces, and a location that invites exploration. Don't miss your chance to make it yours!
