Quiet Rush Lake waterfront home on 5 acres is close to Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore Park and Lake Michigan. Wildlife abounds here. Watch eagles and hawks soar and listen to loons and cranes call from your 402 ft. of private, no motor lakefront amongst mature hardwoods. Mark the seasons with spring wildflowers and migrating waterfowl. This updated 3 bedroom, 2.5 bath residence has achieved a 4 Star Home Energy Rating due to its 2x6 construction, abundant insulation and woodstove heating. The main floor primary bedroom suite features a vaulted cedar wood ceiling and is designed for relaxation, with a jetted tub in the bathroom and a sliding door to the hot tub on the patio off of the brand new deck. A laundry room on the main level boasts a newer washer and dryer. The kitchen was refreshed last year with a new counter, sink, fixtures and appliances. The views from the living room are impressive, with floor-to-cathedral-ceiling windows and a skylight set in the cedar wood ceiling. A set of stairs up leads to a loft bedroom with a skylight and its own bath. The finished lower level has a family room, bedroom, craft room, a storage/utility room and a half bath plumbed for a shower. The home has vinyl siding, an updated roof and a paved driveway leads to the attached, two-car garage which is heavily insulated and has a sealed, painted floor. For the toys a detached 24x19 insulated garage includes interior steps to an unfinished 16x12 loft area. A generator hookup services most of the home’s electrical needs during unexpected power outages. A rare location down a winding road to this unique setting which features sought after quiet, privacy and dark skies for star gazers.
