Listing Description
Some homes impress you with what you can see. This home impresses you with what you discover.

Multi-zone in-floor radiant heat provides exceptional year-round comfort throughout the home, including the primary bath. What separates this property from the ordinary is the way it was built. Insulated concrete forms and concrete siding provide durability and energy efficiency. Features like the Electronic Air Elite air purification system, generator hookup, and new boiler installed in 2025 offers added efficiency and peace of mind. The kitchen faucet and garbage disposal were also recently upgraded. Step outside and you'll find a spacious 40-foot deck overlooking a private backyard and wooded common area beyond. It's the perfect place to host summer gatherings or relax after a day of work or play. The heated and insulated 30x30 garage is more than just a place to park vehicles.

Tucked away at the end of a quiet road in Timber View Ridge, this home is surrounded by nature and bordered by wooded common area. It's location places you close to everything that makes living in the Up North so desireable. Spend your days exploring the Sleeping Bear Dunes, biking the Sleeping Bear Heritage Trail, relaxing on Lake Michigan beaches, or play a round at The Dunes Golf Course across the road. Traverse City's shopping, dining, and entertainment are less than 30 minutes from your doorstep. For added space, the adjoining lot to the north is available for purchase. Built with intention, maintained with care, and thoughtfully designed, it's a home that continues to reveal its value long after the first impression.
