The FRONT PORCH is a very large, covered outdoor space with a wicker seating area for over 10 guests. It is a great place to sip your morning coffee or an evening cocktail. Rain or shine, the porch is the perfect spot to relax and enjoy your summer vacation. Two decks are available which provide additional space to enjoy the outdoors. Enjoy grilling and your meal on the cafe deck which has a gas grill, dining table and umbrella to cool down from the sun. For a quiet space the retreat deck provides a secluded location to read a book or enjoy a quiet conversation.
The LIVING ROOM has a bank of windows looking onto the front porch with comfortable seating for seven. A newly added electric fireplace with shelves houses the 55” smart TV with cable to catch your favorite shows after a day at the beach, golfing, fishing or enjoying the sights of Northern Michigan.
The DINING ROOM is the heart of the home with a breakfast island that opens to the kitchen. It includes an oak dining table which seats up to 10, a china hutch and a large desk which makes this more like a great room than simply a dining area. The sliding glass doors lead to the lovely bistro deck which has a gas grill and a round patio table with umbrella to enjoy an outdoor cookout after a day at the beach. There are two ceiling fans to bring the cool lake breeze into the house.
The KITCHEN was remodeled in 2015 keeping its farmhouse style with dark oak cabinets, butcher block counter tops and a breakfast island. The large porcelain sink and vintage green stove pay tribute to the past while enjoying the modern conveniences of a dishwasher, garbage disposal, microwave, electric stove and refrigerator with ice maker. The wall air conditioner and ceiling fan keep the kitchen cool while cooking. The mobile island provides additional work space and storage for recycling. The kitchen is fully stocked with dishware, glasses, pots, pans and even a crock pot.
