This cozy lakehouse on the shore of S. Lake Leelanau is a 15 minute drive from Traverse City and all its amenities and is within easy access to Leelanau & Grand Traverse Counties' parks, beaches, shopping, theaters,& casinos.
The lakehouse is located on a 375 ft. long lot with 75 feet of private Lake Leelanau frontage. Nestled in with cedar and birch trees, this quiet retreat is flanked on two sides by privacy fencing and includes a large front lawn overlooking the water. Cool westerly breezes provide comfort on hot days. After a splash in the lake there is a warm-water outside shower attached to the house for quick rinses which is easily accessed by the cement walk that skirts the house.
A flagstone walk meanders through the front lawn to the lake edge. A few steps takes you down to the water and to 60 feet of dock. The sandy bottom at the end of the dock provides for great swimming in clear waist-high water. When you overlook our stoney shores of Lake Leelanau, you will love the great swimming, boating, fishing, and relaxing.
This is a well-cared for, clean, newer(built in 2000), Non-Smoking, cottage-like, two-story home with 1500 sq.ft. of living space. Included is a screened-in front porch facing the lake. The back porch also offers a quiet retreat. Both porches have tables and chairs. Or snack and dine on 2 additional picnic tables out in the breeze by the lake.
Oak hardwood floors and oak cabinetry give a warm touch. The fully stocked kitchen is modern and convenient. Instant warmth and ambiance in the living room can be had with the flip of a switch for the gas fireplace. The carpeted and spacious (20 ft. long) upstairs master bedroom overlooking the lake has a queen bed and double futon.
The large main-level bedroom with hardwood floors is furnished with a queen bed. The living room couch folds out for added sleeping. There are large tiled floor bathrooms on both levels. A Tub/shower is in the upper bath, and a large shower is in the main floor bath.
