$700,000

A significant new price of $700,000. If you've had your eye on Bay Ridge Estates, now is the time. Five private acres and sweeping Lake Michigan sunset views set this custom retreat apart, just down the road from Rex Beach. At 4,414 total finished square feet (3,321 above grade, plus a 1,093 sq ft finished walkout), this home offers space that's hard to find at this price point. The main level centers on a stone fireplace with a wood-burning insert and hardwood floors installed in 2025 throughout. The kitchen features granite counters, a center island, a cushioned window seat, a new stainless refrigerator and dishwasher, and reverse osmosis filtration. A main-floor office with new carpet, a cedar-lined screened porch, full bath, oversized pantry with included freezer, and mudroom with cubbies round out this level, connecting to an oversized heated two-car garage. Upstairs, a library and sitting room behind French doors frames a wide west-facing window toward Lake Michigan; the best seat in the house at sunset, and easily used as a fourth bedroom. The primary suite shares those views, with a large walk-in closet, a double vanity, a separate shower, a 6-ft jetted tub, and heated tile floors. A second heated-tile bath serves the upper level, where new 2025 carpet runs throughout the bedrooms. A 33-foot open loft and two bonus rooms over the garage make ideal space for a bunk room, studio, or playroom. The walkout lower level adds a 32-foot family room with built-in shelving, laundry and utility room, a full bath, and two storage rooms. Outside, enjoy the fire pit, a play set, and a custom treehouse built to match the home's architecture. Less than a mile from Lake Michigan and Antrim Creek Natural Area, minutes from Antrim Dells Golf Course, with an easy drive to Charlevoix, Boyne City, and Petoskey. With a freshly painted main floor and updates throughout, this retreat is entirely move-in ready.
