Discover the incredible potential of this spacious two-story home set on 3.11 peaceful acres between Chelsea and Dexter, offering the perfect balance of privacy and convenience with quick access to both downtowns and I-94. With over 2,000 finished square feet above grade - and the opportunity to add 1,000+ more in the walkout basement - this home invites you to bring your ideas and make its solid bones truly shine. The main level welcomes you with a large, sun-filled living room featuring southern exposure. At the back of the home, the expansive eat-in kitchen boasts an island workspace, newer stainless-steel appliances, and a dining area with sliding door to the deck overlooking serene woods - ideal for birdwatching and spotting deer and turkeys as they pass through. A nearby laundry room with newer washer and dryer (included) connects through a breezeway to the attached 2.5-car garage, creating a convenient drop zone for busy households. Two bedrooms and two full bathrooms complete the main floor, including a generous primary suite with a walk-in closet and private bath offering a dual vanity, soaking tub, and separate shower. The second bedroom - currently used as an office/den - has a full bath with shower just across the hall. Upstairs, you'll find two enormous bedrooms, each with its own walk-in closet, that share a full hallway bath. Additional comforts include reverse osmosis at every faucet and a Rinnai tankless water heater. Outside, enjoy over 3 acres of land with primarily untouched woods for exploring, plus a fenced front yard perfect for kids or pets. The oversized attached garage features a second story ideal for finishing into a studio, hobby space, or retreat. A large outbuilding with a two-car garage door adds even more room for boat or car storage or your dream workshop. Just minutes from downtown Chelsea, Dexter-Huron Metropark, multiple nature preserves, and the extensive Waterloo and Pinckney Recreation Areas, this location is a dream for outdoor enthusiasts. Dexter mailing, highly rated Chelsea schools, and lower Lima Township taxes complete the package. Don't miss this rare opportunity to put down roots and enjoy country living just minutes from the cities!
