Property Description

LITTLE TRAVERSE LAKE – The quintessential lakeside retreat. This masterfully crafted 4,200-square-foot residence features three bedrooms, two and a half bathrooms, and generous living spaces inside and out. Completed in 2006 of UP-sourced pine, the home has been meticulously preserved as a seasonal escape by its original owners. The timeless materials honor the spirit of Northern Michigan: rich maple floors, slate tile, custom cherry cabinetry, and pine trim and doors —all shielded by a lifetime-warranted metal roof. The main living areas flow seamlessly toward the waterfront, while the lower-level family room features a full wet bar and walk-out access directly to the lakeside lawn. The property boasts 135 feet of sandy frontage with sought-after southern exposure, bathing the property in all-day sun and framing striking views across the lake and toward the recently protected Sugar Loaf Mountain. Little Traverse Lake remains one of Leelanau County’s hidden gems—a picturesque, spring-fed, all-sports lake at the base of Good Harbor Bay. Positioned equidistant to Leland and Glen Arbor, it offers effortless access to the very best of the peninsula. Arrive via a quiet, canopy-lined road where all the acreage across the street is protected National Lakeshore land, offering hiking trails and Lake Michigan beach access just three-quarters of a mile away. Desirable amenities round out this exceptional property, including a heated two-car garage with direct dual-floor access, expansive lakeside decks and patios, a sprawling waterside lawn, a 14'x14' garden shed, and a 16kw whole-house generator.
