Peace, privacy, and community come together at this tri-level home in the welcoming Hardwood Acres neighborhood. Set back from the road along a tree-lined drive, the home sits on a wooded acre that offers summer shade, year-round seclusion, and a spacious backyard complete with a storage shed--perfect for play, bonfires, or simply enjoying Northern Michigan's seasons. Inside, the open layout is designed for comfort and flexibility. The finished lower level includes a family room and an additional bathroom, giving everyone room to spread out. Whether it's hosting game night with friends or settling in for a quiet evening, the home adapts easily to your lifestyle. Hardwood Acres is more than just a neighborhood--it's a community where families, nature-lovers, first-time buyers, and those looking to simplify all find their rhythm. And just a mile away, the village of Lake Ann offers small-town charm at its best. Catch live music at the Lake Ann Brewery, grab a pizza from Stone Oven, or swing by Lake Ann Grocery for everyday essentials. Mornings are made for Red Door Coffee House, and warm afternoons invite you to the park or a refreshing dip in Lake Ann. When you need more, Traverse City is just 20 minutes away--close enough for work, dining, and conveniences, yet far enough that coming home still feels like a retreat. This isn't just a house. It's a home that blends privacy, convenience, and the best of small-town charm--and it's ready to be your home sweet home.
