2549 E Kasson

Tucked into the woods and away from the road, this sweet elevated ranch is hidden on 5 acres and is located at the end of a charming tree-lined driveway. Perched on a gentle slope, the main house and detached garage share a sunny backyard with fire-pit, and overlook the surrounding hardwoods. The detached garage is a two-story structure with parking below and a finished living space above, accessed by exterior stair. A great space for guests and visitors, this area has 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom, a living room, and laundry. In the primary structure, all bedrooms and most living spaces are located on the upper level. A peninsula kitchen opens generously to the dining room, with both spaces adjacent to a north-facing back deck and the yard beyond. The living room overlooks a wide, south-facing deck that remains in full sun for most of the day. Three bedrooms are located down a short hallway and each enjoy views into the surrounding woods - a very tree-house kind of vibe. A shared full bathroom is centrally located on this level, while a surprise half bath is tucked into the main floor laundry room (there's an opportunity here - it's next to the master bedroom - think master bath!). Downstairs in the walkout basement, a generous finished area is an easy bonus room, entertainment area, office, and more. Sensible storage spaces are hidden behind the stair and to the rear of the house, rounding out this lower level. Sweet and simple, this is an excellent Cedar ranch with an apartment bonus. Located in Glen Lake School District, this is a perfect location for those that need to be close to Traverse City but wish to remain deep in the heart of Leelanau!
