Uniquely beautiful ranch-style home is in the historic waterfront Village of Empire, Michigan. This wonderful four-bedroom retreat is move-in ready and located just blocks from a Lake Michigan sandy beach, in the heart of the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore. Remodeled 100%, the home’s extensive system upgrades, expansion and features are listed in the “Documents†link. Convenient main-floor living includes three bedrooms, living room, dining area, laundry room, and a NEW Kitchen with custom hickory cabinetry, granite counters, and tiled floor. Also find an all-new bathroom with custom cabinetry, granite counters, tiled shower and floor. Enjoy additional living space in the finished lower level, including a large family room and 4th bedroom. Attention has even been paid to the furnace room, with a new furnace, electronic air filter, AC and sealed floor. Step from the dining room/kitchen to your new 12x12 deck and relax in the backyard. Attractive designer pavers lead to the front entry and are also found in the back. Park your vehicles and toys in the newly insulated, heated and finished 3-stall garage with hot and cold running water. Village amenities include municipal water and natural gas, and the home also has Spectrum highspeed internet. Get peace of mind with the whole house Generac generator. Endless walking is available beyond the backyard where 11 acres of village park give way to 87 acres of Leelanau Conservancy property. Seniors especially love the village’s new pickleball court, golf is just 4 miles away and Crystal Mountain skiing is a 35-minute drive. This is a recreational paradise with Lake Michigan beaches and nearby Bar lakes. The Sleeping Bear Heritage Trail for hiking and bicycling begins in Empire and heads north to Good Harbor Bay.
