Sweet and simple in central Leelanau! Presenting a delightfully sunny ranch in Leland Public School District, near to the National Lakeshore (just up the road from Good Harbor Beach!), and less than 30-minutes from Traverse City. Located in Ski View Farms, this home sits on a large grassy lot with a generous backyard and a mixture of mature trees that buffer the property from the surrounding neighborhood. Perennial gardens along the front of the house give this property easy curb appeal, while raised vegetable beds and a small storage shed in the backyard make this a functional and enjoyable exterior space. Inside, this home benefits from a smart and compact main floor plan. The primary living areas enjoy bright light throughout the day. Facing east, the kitchen and dining room overlook an elevated deck to the backyard beyond. The living room is to the west and is host to a brick fireplace with propane insert. The two main floor bedrooms are 'just right' in size and both include built-ins for added storage. A full bathroom and main floor laundry room/mud room complete this efficient main level. Downstairs, the finished walkout basement nearly doubles the square-footage of this home, adding several desirable amenities to the overall package. This open lower level includes an oversized family room as well as a second mudroom plus kitchenette, all with immediate access to the backyard and upstairs. A complete master bedroom suite gives extra value to this great basement level and includes a full bathroom ensuite (with ceramic tile flooring, custom stone shower, and soaking tub!) in addition to a large walk-in closet. Most recently a year-round rental, this home has been admired by each tenant as wonderfully simple and totally charming. Much to appreciate in this listing---good things come in small packages!
