This listing offers a "beautifully maintained Timberlee home offering the ideal blend of comfort, convenience, and Northern Michigan living." And at a mere $435,000 for 1,400 square feet, it's what passes for "affordable" in the Leelanau real estate scene these days. 

The open-concept main level features vaulted ceilings, abundant natural light, and a spacious kitchen with excellent storage and workspace. The primary suite offers privacy with its own bath and generous closet space," the listing reads. "Additional bedrooms provide flexibility for family, guests, or an office."

This home is located minutes from Munson Medical Centre, downtown Traverse City, wineries, trails, and year-round recreation, including Timberlee Sledding Hill. A Tamarack Beach Club membership transfers with the sale of the house, so the buyer may use the membership upon payment of the annual dues. The owner was among the last to obtain this membership. There is now a waiting list.
