Property Description
LITTLE TRAVERSE LAKE – This meticulously maintained craftsman style home blends timeless design with modern comforts, creating a true lakefront sanctuary. It has nearly 3700 square feet of interior living space, 4 bedrooms and 4 ½ baths, ample gathering areas, and overflow sleeping space with commanding views of the lake throughout. The current owners have undertaken a long list of improvements and upgrades including granite countertops, refinished solid wood flooring, beautifully overhauled decks and extensive landscaping. The home offers single-story living, with a private primary suite opposite the generous common areas and a three-season screened porch that feels inviting rain or shine. Upstairs, you’ll find another ensuite bedroom plus two more and a second full bathroom. The open lower level offers flexible space for an office, workout area, and game room, along with another full bath and a walk-out to a new composite deck that spans the width of the home and provides access to the waterfront. Outside, a professionally landscaped front yard/garden area leads from the paved driveway to a covered entry. On the lakeside, the owners have encouraged the restoration of native species, which is not only ecologically beneficial to the lake, but is a low-maintenance solution that serves double-duty as a refuge for the abundant wildlife passing through from the Sleeping Bear National Lakeshore just across Traverse Lake Road. The shoreline of this section of Little Traverse Lake has a firm sand bottom and the lake itself is fantastic for all activities from fishing to watersports, yet is free of crowds. And with the Swanson Preserve and the recently protected Sugar Loaf Mountain creating the backdrop across the lake, your views will never change.
