Welcome to 824 Crooked Tree — a classic cottage-style duplex condominium in the Crooked Tree association that lives like a single-family home, with main floor living, attached garage, and walkout basement just 2.5 miles from downtown Petoskey. This 2-bedroom plus loft, 2.5-bath home overlooks the #10 fairway with distant country views. The main floor features the primary bedroom suite, laundry, and attached garage on the same level — a layout rarely available in condominium living. The primary suite includes a double vanity, walk-in closet, and walk-in tub. A living room with cathedral ceiling, wood floors, and gas fireplace anchor the main level, while the covered back porch and elevated deck offer sweeping views of the #10 fairway and rolling country beyond. Upstairs, an open loft serves as office, reading nook, or additional sleeping area — many owners have enclosed this space to create a third bedroom. The partially finished walkout lower level is plumbed for a bath and includes an egress window for a potential fourth bedroom, ready for finishing as a family room or recreation area. Crooked Tree Condos provide close proximity to the 18-hole championship golf course and clubhouse affiliated with Boyne Resorts, with the added benefit of lower Resort Township taxes. The condo sits directly across from the golf practice facility, with downtown Petoskey, Lake Michigan beaches, the historic Gaslight District, area ski resorts, and four-season trails all minutes away. Offered unfurnished. Whether you're looking for a primary residence, second home, or low-maintenance Northern Michigan retreat, 824 Crooked Tree offers a rare combination of main-floor primary suite, expansion potential, and Petoskey proximity.

Exquisitely maintained main floor living home, making it an ideal condominium alternative (no HOA dues), but with a new accessory building for your extra boats/cars/campers or as a hobby space or light home business, being that the pole building has its own designated driveway. The location is paramount, in Resort Township (lower Taxes) across the road from Bay Harbor, and just 10 minutes from Petoskey and 15 minutes from Boyne City and Charlevoix. Being directly between Lake Charlevoix and Walloon Lake, water access is easy; you have many launch options. Inside the home, you'll find a user-friendly floor plan with vaulted ceilings and skylights, creating a bright and happy environment. As for the layout, there's a luxurious primary suite in the rear east-facing portion of the home, and two additional bedrooms on the opposite side of the gourmet kitchen and open living space.  Hardwood floors, high-end appliances, cozy fireplace, A/C, spotless attached garage, and so much more. Every detail is perfect, and you will not find a cleaner, better cared-for home. What the current owners really enjoy is the outdoor living space. From the quintessential covered front porch and mature landscaping that shrouds the road (1701 Horton Bay is also set far away from the road) to the gracious rear deck and sun-drenched back yard looking over a bucolic setting with only the custom hardscape pathway to your pole building and private fire pit in the foreground of the vibrant green pasture that looks due east. This isn't your typical old country road homestead, but rather a custom home that's large enough for a family, retiree, or weekender who has occasional company, but it's not such an overwhelming footprint that it requires constant cleaning and old house maintenance issues. Call today and start living the good life in all four seasons of beautiful Northern Michigan
