Property Description
Every once in a while a listing comes to the market where it's not just a property being sold, it's a lifestyle being offered to the next owner. Nestled in a peaceful, rolling countryside setting, this is one of those properties: a vintage colonial-style home that has been lovingly restored and modernized by the current owner. With 2,700 sq.ft. of finished living space and multiple outbuildings, you'll enjoy having all the space for everything you need. Not one inch of this home has been overlooked and either updated or restored. Highlights include custom hand-built cabinetry in the kitchen (along with granite counters, ship-lap accents and a tongue-and-groove ceiling), storage cabinets and folding counter in the dedicated laundry room, original pocket doors between the formal dining room and living room, and automatic lights in the stairwell leading to the upper level. Upstairs you'll find the primary suite with it's own living space (with a gas stove) and private bath with a jetted tub. Three more bedrooms, a bath, and a small flex room complete the space. Built to enjoy the setting, there are three covered porches that overlook the countryside and the garden, currently highlighted by spring flowers - imagine yourself here with a cup of coffee each morning in 3 seasons. The 40x40 pole barn features dual 13' overhead doors, 14' ceilings, electric, heating/cooling, and extensive insulation, along with a secondary section with pull-through doors. A secondary garage features storage and a kennel set-up, along with storage for the pellet boiler, which, in addition to the high-efficiency propane furnace, is another option for heating without the hassle of chopping wood. All this is located a mile or so from the charming and quaint village of Ellsworth, located on the Chain of Lakes Water Trail, a 100+mile inland water trail of 12 lakes and interconnected rivers that lead to Lake Michigan.
