In the heart of Leelanau, at the top of a hill amid towering trees and blooming trillium is this sweet year-round cabin in the woods. The main level includes an open kitchen and dining area with a wood stove to warm the room on a cool day. The living area features a beautiful stone fireplace built by mason, Mark Lattimore. Bevel glass french doors open to the deck overlooking the forest. The den has built-in cherry cabinetry. There are wide cherry plank floors throughout the main level. Upstairs is a spacious master bedroom suite with walnut built-in bureaus, pine floors, a walk in shower and a claw foot tub. The basement has lots of storage. A lit pathway leads through the woods to an outbuilding used as a writing studio and a workshop. To the east of the outbuilding's deck is a small recirculating waterscape pond lined with stones and Iris. There's a fenced area for pets. Updates include a new roof in 2015, and a new Lennox propane furnace and heat pump in 2014. There is plenty of space for an addition, to build a garage, and to build a pole building.
