9560 S Cedar Rd Cedar, MI 49621

Beautifully remodeled Craftsman-style home set on 1.65 acres just ½ mile south of Cedar and 11 miles to Traverse City, offering the best of both worlds—serene rural living with easy access to town amenities. This century-old home has been thoughtfully transformed into a modern Craftsman retreat, featuring cultured stone accents on the exterior, including a unique section between the garage and service door made from Petoskey stones. Step up onto the Trex deck leading to the home’s entrance. The front has been reimagined, converting a former porch into expanded living space. Inside, you’ll find a welcoming entry foyer with room for conversation seating and a serene sitting room to the right. Separated from the main living area by French doors, this peaceful space is ideal for birdwatching or morning coffee with views of the Cedar Valley and connects directly to the primary suite for a calming, private retreat. The spacious great room with 9-foot ceilings flows into the open kitchen, which includes butcher block counters, a pantry, and a dining area with a wet bar—perfect for entertaining. A second main-floor bedroom adds flexibility, while the combined laundry and half bath enhance daily functionality. A slate stone breezeway connects the home to the garage and includes a door from the main living area, offering a protected transition space during colder months. It also leads to an outdoor patio, ideal for gatherings or quiet evenings. Upstairs, two large bedrooms with built-in shelving and charming rooflines are complemented by a shared full bath. The two-car attached garage is finished with insulated pine tongue-and-groove walls. An outdoor shed offers extra storage for lawn and garden needs. The private, picturesque backyard is perfect for gardening, recreation, or simply enjoying the peaceful beauty of Leelanau County. This home is a harmonious blend of modern comfort and timeless character in a prime location.
