Built in 2012, this stunning ranch-style home is located just 15 miles from downtown Marquette on a year-round paved road that has a dead end so there is very little traffic. Nestled on over 19 nicely wooded acres with maples, birch, and evergreens and abundant wildlife, in Skandia township, this property offers the perfect blend of country living and modern convenience. As you step into the home, you'll be greeted by a spacious entry that seamlessly flows into the open concept living room, dining area, and kitchen with gleaming hardwood floors. The vaulted ceiling is lined with tongue and groove creating a warm and inviting "Up North" atmosphere. The great room is the ideal spot for family and friends to gather to watch the big game or celebrate holidays. The kitchen is perfect for culinary enthusiasts, featuring newer stainless steel appliances, and plenty of cabinet and counter space with beautiful hickory cabinets and shining granite countertops. A convenient buffet area is perfect for hosting gatherings and providing additional kitchen storage. Sliding glass doors off the kitchen/dining area lead to the deck and a private backyard, providing the perfect setting for outdoor fun and games. All three bedrooms, including a wonderful primary suite with its own dedicated full bath, are located on the main level. The clean/dry lower level provides a huge family/rec room with a section that the current owners intended on adding a bar. There is also space for utilities, storage, and laundry on this level. There is an egress window if a new owner wanted to rearrange to add a fourth conforming bedroom. The attached two car garage enters into a convenient mud area with utility sink, and just on the other side is the kitchen, for quick and easy grocery unloading. The heat is propane forced air (no dealing with wood heat and easy to add central air if you like), the water heater is new, there is a generator in case electricity goes out (current owners have never had to use it), and a water softener that is owned, not rented. Skandia has one of the more affordable property tax millage rates too. This beautiful home offers a peaceful country lifestyle. DeVought's Country Store and feed supply is just 2.3 miles down the road, the Skandia farmer's market is just 2.7 miles down the road, and the A&M Cafe is just 4.5 miles down the road. The nearly 20 acres is zoned Resource Production where you can have horses, small livestock, bee keep, chickens, create your own hobby farm! You can also hunt on your own land! Not too far from thousands of acres of state land and dozens of inland lakes also! If interested you can take a side by side down Yalmer to forestry road which takes you all the way to Lakenenland, Christmas, and Deerton!
