Property Watch: Home Sweet Home In Cedar

Family-friendly properties under $300,000 in Leelanau county are a precious commodity, so we leapt to share this just-listed, updated 1925 farmhouse (9083 S Hewitt Street, MLS# 1880765, $299,900) nestled in the village of Cedar.

Real estate agent Amber Griswold of Century 21 Northland says the four-bedroom home is well-equipped for a homestead lifestyle, including a big backyard with a chicken coop (with a custom living green roof), established garden beds, and built-in stone planters. It's also walkable to everything in the close-knit community of Cedar, including the Cedar River Waterway & Park now in the works, galleries, a shop for all things Polish, Bunting’s Market and — come summer — the annual Cedar Polka Fest. 

Says Griswold, “With only a 15-mile commute to Traverse City, my clients utilize TCAPS, but also can choose Glen Lake Schools.”
