Property Description
Set on nearly a half-acre of heavily wooded land, this 5-bedroom, 3-bath ranch offers space, privacy, and quiet in the sought-after Shorter Lake Woods subdivision. The main floor features an open-concept living, dining, and kitchen area with a large island, updated in 2025 with new countertops and extended for extra seating, plus new pendant lighting over the island and dining table. The main-floor primary suite includes a private bath, and two additional main-floor bedrooms round out the level. The finished lower level adds a spacious family room, a fourth and fifth bedroom, and a third full bath ââ¬â ideal for a large family or guests. An attached 2-car garage ââ¬â insulated and drywalled, with a paved drive ââ¬â keeps mornings easy through a Northern Michigan winter. Recent updates also include fresh paint throughout the upstairs, new solid-surface vanity tops and faucets in the upper baths, and ceiling fans in both small upstairs bedrooms. Enjoy the covered front porch, back deck, and backyard fire pit that feel completely private despite being in a subdivision. Just steps from the home, a trail leads to Shorter Lake for fishing and lake access, and the location is close to state land, Lake Ann, Empire, and Traverse City ââ¬â all on a quiet street with little through traffic.
