About this House

Nicely updated, turn-key home in the village of Elk Rapids, across the street from Elk Rapids Schools! This corner property on two lots has some of the charm of a 1960s cottage with all the modern finishes of a new home. It was recently remodeled in 2021 including all new paint, flooring, windows, furnace, central air and hot tub. It was even more recently updated with top of the line GE Cafe kitchen appliances including an energy efficient induction range and GE Profile front-load washer and dryer in 2023. Cozy up next to the crackling fire in the wood-burning, fieldstone fireplace in the living room. The large primary suite includes a walk-in closet, sky lights and a private bath with a walk-in tile shower and a soaking tub. Off the primary suite there's a private patio with a hot tub and access to the backyard where there's a hookup for a natural gas grill. The detached 28' x 30' garage offers plenty of room for 2 cars, a workbench and lots of storage but if that isn't enough, there's an additional driveway for more parking. The backyard is fenced in on 2 sides ensuring privacy from the neighbors and making it easy to complete. Next to the house there's space for an RV with hookups for water, sewer and electric. Walk across the street to Elk Rapids schools or catch a game at any of the school's athletic fields. Enjoy the slower pace and small town amenities of village living where you'll be just a mile from restaurants and breweries like Short's Pull Barn and Pearl's New Orleans Kitchen. It's only a few minutes to the boat launch on Elk Lake and to the Elk Rapids Sandbar and beach on the East Arm of the Grand Traverse Bay and just 15 minutes to the Torch Lake Sandbar. With a short commute to Traverse City, this home is perfect for a young family, those looking for a second home up north or anyone looking to be near all that NW Michigan has to offer, while still being a comfortable distance from the city. This home is a rare example of true pride in ownership.

509 E 3rd St, Elk Rapids, MI 49629 is a 4 bedroom, 3 bathroom, 1,910 sqft single-family home built in 1965. It last sold for the $469,000 asking price on Sep 27, 2024.

This school has it all - a great principal, super staff, and very involved parents. We work outside of the district so we have looked at sending our son to a school closer to where we work, but can't find anything to compare to Lakeland!
