This is the new-build home you've been waiting for.. the one elevated beyond a traditional spec build thanks to the high-end material selections & thoughtful custom finishes that are evident from the moment you pull in the driveway (and yes, the basement is already finished for you!). Tucked back in a private lot within Bahia Vista, a quiet & walkable neighborhood of established homes with a handful of new-builds in progress, where you can meander on a trail through common areas and enjoy views of West Bay from parts of the neighborhood. Stand out finishes of the home include L.P. engineered siding with stone accent, engineered hardwood flooring, vaulted ceilings with wood beams & quartz counters. Easy main floor living with a primary suite & two guest bedrooms, laundry room & mudroom with custom built-ins. You'll be ready to host Thanksgiving festivities with the generously sized kitchen. Highlights include beautiful cabinetry, KitchenAid appliances, gas range, quartz counters with a matte finish & a large walk-in pantry. The main floor primary suite includes a tiled walk-in shower, soak tub and walk-in closet with custom closet shelving. The lower level is finished out & ready for you to enjoy with an oversized living space, two additional guest bedrooms and a large partially-finished storage room that would make a tremendous home gym or hobby room. The 0.80 acre lot backs up to beautiful hardwoods, creating a sense of privacy and seclusion. Plenty of level, open yard-space affords room for kids & pets to play (hydroseeding and irrigation are both in place). Located in Leelanau County but still just 5 minutes to downtown Traverse City & within TCAPS school boundary.. enjoy the proximity to town while being able to retreat to the peace & quiet of Leelanau County at the end of your work day. The best of both worlds! 10 minutes to Munson, 8 minutes to Farm Club and 5 minutes to the nearest public beach on West Bay.
