Gaze out onto a sun-dappled lawn and wander among the beautiful established gardens at this immaculate historical farmhouse estate in Leelanau County! Nestled on 10 acres with towering cottonwood and oak trees, this idyllic property harkens to a time of quiet and contentment. Meticulously maintained and outfitted with all the conveniences of the modern family, this elegant home encompasses both beauty and practicality. The main house has been painstakingly restored to protect architectural and aesthetic integrity, with the original woodwork and metal fixtures intact. Open the front door and enter into a lovely main living space with bright panoramic windows in the dining area, new wood floors, wrap-around built-in bookcases, and a cozy wood fireplace. The airy kitchen features stainless-steel appliances, granite countertops, a butcher block peninsula bar, a walk-in pantry, and access to an airy back porch. An additional dining area, three-quarter bathroom, and bedroom also reside on the main floor. Upstairs is a stair landing with room for a reading nook or office space, a stunning primary bedroom with large picture windows, a full bathroom with clawfoot soaking tub, a twin bedroom, and large laundry. The attic is spacious and is currently being used as an extra non-conforming bedroom. Outside you will find a detached garage with a 1.5 story guest house, complete with a fully outfitted kitchen and additional bed space. Travel up a lovely stone stairway lined with mature trees to the third building on the property surrounded by picturesque landscaping, and would make a perfect artist or garden studio. Keep on down to the right of the property and find yourself in a walking garden. The back of the property is comprised of gorgeous mature hardwoods with walking trails. Located in the heart of Leelanau County, this rare property is like none other!
