This charming, updated 3-bedroom bungalow has a cool coastal vibe with a full wall of west-facing windows that places the line between indoor and outdoor living in perfect synchronicity, making at-home relaxation or entertaining a breeze. Although currently used as a year-round residence, this cozy main-floor living home has a cool aesthetic and is ideal for a seasonal residence or a weekend getaway with easy access to skiing, mountain biking, hiking, beaches, and golf. As for the Neighborhood? 5630 Elm Lane is located in the lower-tax Pleasantview Township between Nub's Nob and The Highlands of Harbor Springs, and the HOA dues are $0 because this is not an HOA.... meaning short-term renting is available if you would like to defray the cost of ownership. With an abundance of natural ground cover and simple mature plants, property maintenance is an easy task, making this the perfect condominium alternative with no high-dollar monthly fees or special assessments. The lot is private and 300 feet deep; the front yard is gently sloping with the quintessential fire pit for those cool Northern Michigan nights. You can chase the sun with an east-facing hardscape sitting area in the front of the house and a large deck overlooking the backyard. There is a new custom shed for additional storage along the very private driveway, stone pathways, plus a bucolic wood trellis. If you don't like drywall, this is your place because nearly every finish is natural wood from the floor to the walls to the soaring vaulted ceilings; this home has the character fit for its location and is already updated so you can have that vintage bungalow/chalet that people covet without having to do the high-dollar retrofitting that nobody wants to take on. So, if you're looking for an affordable way to enjoy Northern Michigan directly between Harbor Springs and Petoskey, schedule a tour to see 5630 Elm Lane. These houses are in high demand because the location is ideal and the living is easy.
