You've been hunting a home in the country, secluded and private, surrounded by trees, a place where kids can walk to school. . .yet, just minutes to get groceries, gas and services.This 5 bedroom/4 bath 2-story tucked back on 5.21 wooded acres in Chocolay Township has everything you've dreamed, and more. In fact, let's just call this property your Family Compound. Custom built in 2014, the owner thoughtfully designed every detail from layout and finishes to downspouts and sun exposure. He even cut the ash trees from the family farm in Ontonagon to plane the millwork. From the entry, right away the wide Marvin windows, and cathedral ceiling draw you to the backyard view. The open living, dining and kitchen have heated ceramic floors. Custom Cherry cabinets, granite counters and a spacious pantry make this kitchen terrific for hosting a feast. The mud room with 1/2 bath lead to the attached heated and insulated over-sized garage with an extra overhead door to the backyard--ideal for the mower. Above the garage is a 12'x33' foot attic ready for you to finish. The primary suite measures over 340 square feet with spacious closet and spa-like bath.The main floor also includes laundry as well as den, which could become a 6th bedroom. 3 bedrooms upstairs with a full bath and a balcony overlooking the living & dining rooms. Downstairs, the walk out basement can be another apartment with a second complete kitchen, 44'x24' rec room (perfect size for pool table or ping pong), and ensuite bedroom with accessible shower. Outside this home has just as many extras. Enjoy your coffee on the covered porch, stretching a full 40 feet across the front of the house, or catch the sun on the 340 foot south-facing back deck overlooking the fire pit and pool. Stroll the orchard or pick from Bev's berry patch. Summer means fruit is always growing & ripening to fill the freezer.The variety of trees here is an arborist's delight.The real plus, though, is the 36'x48' pole barn with heated workshop. The owner added extra lean-to covered parking for the tractor with additional 30 amp electric hook up for a motor home. Bringing in those toys and trailers is a breeze with your very own roundabout driveway. So much to appreciate in the construction and features of this home. Nothing is missing but you. Come take a tour. Taxes are not Zero and will adjust at closing.
