This custom built home was constructed in 2015 by Huizing Homes llc, the homeowners. Every thought was given to design and function of this home. It is a great location for commuters and those who like to travel. Located within 10 minute drive to the airport and convenient to M-6 and I-96. Close to shopping, but you still have acreage to spread out. The ravine behind the home is protected and cannot be constructed on so privacy is provided. The exterior boasts 2x6 construction, with a welcoming covered front porch with stamped colored concrete and an open floor plan on the main level with hand hewn wood floors and 12x24 tile. The kitchen offers concrete counters, a walk-in pantry, gas cook top, in wall oven and microwave. The grand room features a wood-burning fireplace for relaxation. Wood plantation shutters provide privacy across the front of the home. The upper level includes two bedrooms, a home office or flex room, and two full bathrooms with in-floor heating. Downstairs, you'll find an entertainment area with a projection screen and built-in bunk beds, two additional bedrooms, an exercise area/flex room, and a full bath. The outdoor patio has a great entertaining vibe with a mason wood burning fireplace and overhead lighting, along with the interior bar area (including a 1/2 bath!) accessed by a glass garage door and ample off street parking including a basketball net. The property also includes a storage shed and a custom heated barn with two lofts for storage...or a great place for a fort for fun. Next to the barn is a great yard space for Lacrosse or batting practice. The woods behind the barn are a great location for a tree fort.
