Property Description
Tucked into the trees of Shorter Lake Woods, this well-kept 4-bedroom, 3-bath home offers 2,562 square feet of finished living space on a private half-acre lot. The main floor lives easy with a wood-floored living and dining area with fireplace, an eat-in kitchen, a main-floor primary suite, and two additional bedrooms. Downstairs, a spacious 44' family room and a fourth bedroom give room to spread out - ideal for guests, a home office, or a rec space. A fifth non-conforming bedroom adds even more flexibility for guests or a private office. Outside, enjoy a deck, patio, and porch overlooking the wooded lot, plus an attached 2-car garage and blacktop driveway. The neighborhood offers shared frontage on Shorter Lake, adding another way to enjoy the setting. Traverse City Area Public Schools serve the property, and it's just minutes from town — a rare opportunity in one of Almira Township's most established wooded neighborhoods.
