Available for immediate occupancy! Tucked away on a hilltop and completely secluded but moments to everything! This two-owner Clarkston retreat delivers the utmost in privacy on nearly 2 acres without giving up convenience. Step inside to an open floor plan built for gathering, anchored by a fireplace that warms the main living area and casts its glow up to the upper-level loft, a perfect perch for reading or working from home. The first-floor primary suite makes one-level living easy, while three additional bedrooms offer room for guests, a home office or hobbies. The remodeled kitchen features crisp white cabinetry, stainless steel appliances and a brand-new microwave, a fresh, timeless space for everyday meals and entertaining. A convenient half bath serves guests on the main floor, and two full baths keep busy mornings running smoothly. The big-ticket items have already been handled so you can move in with confidence: roof (2011), high-efficiency water heater, furnace with whole-house humidifier for comfortable Michigan winters, newer garage door and opener, and septic tank pumped in 2025. The poured basement offers dry, flexible space ready for a rec room, home gym or workshop, plus generous storage. Outside, the acreage invites you to spread out with room for gardens, play, pets and hobbies, plus a storage shed with a new roof (2025) to keep the mowers and tools organized. Attached garage adds even more storage, and the driveway has been freshly topped with gravel. Access is easy: take the shortcut through the neighboring Thendara Park subdivision and enjoy paved roads all the way in, with only about one block of gravel to the home. From this quiet hilltop you are still just minutes from downtown Clarkston's shops and restaurants, Pine Knob Music Theatre, Independence Oaks County Park and I-75. Private, updated and move-in ready, homes with no HOA like this rarely come along! IDRBNG
