Attractively sited, custom-built 3 bed, 2 bath home designed for luxury, comfort and efficiency on the Au Sable River. The open floor plan flows from living room, dining to kitchen area with both table and counter seating and adjoins a screened 3 season porch. This river-facing porch provides insect-free seating within earshot of the river with a dappled river view through the trees. For inclement weather slide the four panel Eze-Breeze vinyl-glazed windows up or down to give complete protection from wind and rain. The home's interior walls are Pine, and the flooring throughout is 3/4" solid Hickory. The exterior is sheathed with long-lasting and tastefully stained Cedar. Two additional porches are accessed through solid-core doors that open to the outdoors for lounging, barbecuing or dining al fresco under full overhangs. There is a mud room entrance from the river side, an entry from the garage, as well as front hallway entrance. Upstairs are two bedrooms with a shared full bath as well as a sitting area wired for phone and Direct TV. This 10 x 12 space could be used as an airy, naturally-lit office space. The two-stall attached garage has a loft above ready to be finished as desired. Walls of the home are R-19, Ceiling R-48 and the valued ceilings are R 38. The water softener and RO filter system is new in 2001. Attention to detail can be seen in the Alderwood kitchen cabinetry, custom pulls, the abundant closets, pantry and storage. All contributes to a comfortable feel in an energy efficient 1800 square foot home.
