Welcome to 8560 Chicory Lane where you will find your dream home on your dream property!

Feel yourself decompress as you wind down the dead-end driveway slowly taking in this private gem surrounded and nestled by forest. 7.35 acres on the Looking Glass River which is to the rear of the home. To get there you meander down a well-maintained path that opens up to 400 feet of crystal clear river frontage. Serene, and peaceful, with nothing across or down in sight. Just flowing water and trees. Back at the house, trees box in the remaining 3 sides. The seclusion so close to Portland is challenging to find elsewhere and pairing that seclusion with a 35-minute commute to East Lansing is delightful. This airy and charming home boasts over 4400 Sq feet of living space comprised of 4 bedrooms and 3.5 baths spread organically throughout the house. As you walk through the door you are greeted by a sea of trees and sunlight sparkling through the tops of the vast Anderson windows. The calm tones and clever use of white with wood accents pull you into the home but you can't help but notice the 12' great room ceilings. You can imagine yourself with the gas fireplace lit, on a crisp snowy evening, lounging in this space as the stars luminously glitter outside. A main floor master with an ensuite which has a soaking tub that overlooks the forested back yard continues to lend to a feeling as though you are on a getaway while here.

The home exclaims, encompasses, and whispers to you in quality. It's apparent with features such as the Chelsea Plank flooring, Corian countertops, and Kitchen-aid microwave with a convection oven above. The kitchen continues with the wood accents above and below the pristine upper cabinets. The separate prep counter space with sink, walk-in pantry, and 36-inch range help to create a sense of empowerment that one can tackle any meal.

The home encompasses you in quality with built-in speakers in the ceilings of the great room, dining room, master bedroom, and a study. Which enchantingly features glass panel French doors, built-in bookshelves, and cabinets, which hover above a mahogany desktop. Continuing on the main level, a 3-season room and a laundry room/mudroom also with built-ins and a utility sink. Exiting the mudroom you'll find yourself in an expansive 28x35 sq ft, 3-car insulated garage with a hot and cold water tap with a drain in the epoxy floor. All these spaces give you what you want in your day-to-day life without going up or down floors of the home.

However, as you move down to the lower level, You'll find nearly 1400 sq ft of finished space and an 800 sq ft mechanical storage room with a"cellar room" off to one side. The lower level also includes a living room with walkout doors, a home gym(which was also formally a band's rehearsal room), 1 bedroom, and a full bath. Last but certainly not least, it included an office with a beautiful hickory desk, built-in bookshelves, and west-facing windows allowing plenty of sunlight to flow and dance into the room.

From bottom to top, we find ourselves on the second floor. A unique flowing stairway, framed by windows and sunlight pouring in guides us up. At the landing are 2 bedrooms, each with a window seat, built-in desk, and walk-in closets, separated by a Jack and Jill bathroom with double sinks.

The home whispers its quality with 2x6 construction and a silent joist system, The "bones" of the house as they say. With a slight pun intended as Halloween is right around the corner. Two 150 amp service panels with both the power lines to the house, as well as an owned 800-gallon propane tank buried around the property to help maintain your home's external natural beauty.

Some other external features include a Generac whole-house generator and a new composite Deck(2023) off the main floor sliders. There's also a patio off the lower-level walkouts and a cold storage "shed" room under the screened porch.

There are far too many features to list, and far too much quality to portray. We invite you to come and see for yourself. We have an inkling this is the home you have been waiting for!
