This delightful 3 bedroom / 2 bath Leelanau County residence is on an oversized corner lot in Elmwood Township (almost a full acre)!

The driveway arcs across the parcel offering two points of entry from the road.

From the east driveway entry, beautiful views of the home and landscaping are available as you approach a level area great for guest parking or trailered vehicles and water-toys - ample space for everything! Inside the home, main floor living areas are efficiently organized around a central stair. A generous mudroom / laundry area lead past the main floor bathroom to an easy peninsula kitchen with solid surface countertops and stainless steel appliances. Just off the kitchen, the dining area and living room run along the front of the house, while a huge party deck with gas fire pit draws the main floor living space to the outside - a wonderful extension to this home, perfect for entertaining house guests.
