Welcome to peaceful country living just minutes from downtown Chelsea. Nestled on over a half-acre in desirable Sylvan Township, this well-maintained ranch with a walk-out lower level offers the perfect blend of comfortable living, functional space, and outdoor enjoyment. The main level features two bedrooms, a full bath, a bright, inviting living area, spacious kitchen with eat-in space and a dining room that opens on to the backyard deck. The finished walkout lower level expands the home's versatility with a large third bedroom with private full bath and large daylight windows, and another room with a closet and walk-out door that would make a great office or a 4th bedroom. This space would be perfect for multi-generational living or guest rooms or a private primary suite. There is also a laundry room and utility room in the lower level. The walkout is a few short steps from a separate 1 car garage, making this space even more convenient. Outside, enjoy a beautifully fenced backyard complete with mature landscaping, established garden beds, and a large deck with awning, perfect for relaxing or entertaining. Two detached garages--a 2-car garage plus the additional 1-car garage--provide exceptional storage, workshop space, or room for hobbies. Located in the Chelsea School District and surrounded by the natural beauty of Sylvan Township, area parks, preserves, and lakes for fishing and swimming, this property offers the privacy of country living while remaining just minutes from shopping, restaurants, schools, and recreation. A wonderful opportunity to make this charming ranch your own.
