Experience the perfect ''best of both worlds'' lifestyle with this meticulously maintained half-cedar log home, offering a peaceful ''up-north'' wilderness retreat just 13 minutes from the heart of downtown Grand Rapids. Situated on 2.5 private, beautifully wooded acres in the desirable Northview School District, this rare property features its own stunning private pond and absolute seclusion while remaining less than a half-mile from all the shopping and conveniences of the East Beltline. Built with quality 2x6 construction, the home welcomes you into a warm, inviting interior wrapped in rich knotty pine walls and soaring cedar cathedral ceilings. The main living area features an open-concept great room where impressive floor-to-ceiling Pella windows and sliding glass doors frame panoramic views of the water and surrounding nature. Here, the living space centers on a striking floor-to-ceiling natural stone gas fireplace, which blends seamlessly into a recently modernized kitchen equipped with premium stainless steel appliances, pristine countertops, and a show-stopping custom walnut island with a live-edge top--two spacious bedrooms with vaulted ceilings and a beautifully updated full bath complete this upper living level. The walk-out lower level offers fantastic additional living space, housing a bedroom, a dedicated laundry area, a utility room, and a stylish second full bathroom featuring custom rustic woodwork, corrugated metal accents, and a copper bucket vessel sink. Every inch of this property has been meticulously cared for, complete with a newer high-efficiency furnace, central air unit, and premium Pella replacements. Step outside onto the expansive wrap-around deck to unwind at the end of the day, overlooking the pond, or head over to the massive 40x45 pole barn, which features a fully insulated workshop and pass-through storage doors perfect for hobbies, tools, or recreational gear. Properties that combine this level of rustic architectural character, private acreage, standalone outbuildings, and immediate proximity to the city are incredibly hard to find.
