Located in the Heritage Hills neighborhood of Empire and adjacent to the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore, this 5+ bedroom, 4 ½ bathroom home with over 4000 square feet of finished living area is equally well suited as a year-round home or summer getaway. The home was completed in 2017 and thoroughly updated in 2024 with fresh paint and new carpet and was thoughtfully furnished, offering a true turnkey opportunity. The main level features a relaxed beach house design with an open-concept living, dining, and kitchen area built for entertaining. The kitchen includes granite countertops, a large pantry, and ample workspace. It is complemented by a practical mudroom with built-in lockers, a main-level laundry room, and a powder room. The primary suite features double sinks, a custom tile shower, and a walk-in closet. Upstairs, you will find three bedrooms, two full baths, and a bonus room above the garage that can serve as overflow sleeping space, an office, or a media room. The finished lower level adds a large family room with a wet bar, a fifth bedroom, a full bath, and additional storage space. Outside, the south-facing deck has a natural gas grill hookup with a lower-level patio area below. The perfectly maintained and professionally landscaped half-acre lot abuts National Lakeshore land, providing a view that will never change, access to hiking trails, and a short walk or bike ride to one of Leelanau County’s best west-facing beaches. A three-car garage rounds out the package with eight-foot-high doors, built-in shelving, and plenty of space for toys.
