About this property
Walk to the Lake/Sandbar in under 3 Minutes!!
Nestled just across the road from the crystal-clear waters of Torch Lake, this inviting home is the perfect setting for a memorable family getaway. With two public lake and sandbar access points less than a 3-minute walk away, you’ll have easy access to one of Michigan’s most beautiful destinations. You’re also just minutes from the charming shops and restaurants of downtown Alden (2.3 miles) and a short drive to Elk Rapids (13 miles).
Inside, the home is thoughtfully designed for comfort and connection. The fully equipped kitchen—complete with stove, oven, dishwasher, and microwave—makes it easy to prepare meals, while the adjacent dining area comfortably seats up to nine, perfect for gathering together. A convenient laundry room with washer and dryer is also available.
The main level features a spacious master suite tucked at the back of the house, offering a king-sized bed, TV, walk-in closet, and private bathroom. A second bedroom includes a cozy twin-over-full bunk bed and closet, with a nearby half bath. At the front of the home, the living room serves as a warm and inviting gathering space for relaxing and spending time together, while the covered porch offers peaceful glimpses of Torch Lake through the trees.
Upstairs, you’ll find two additional bedrooms, a full bath, and a convenient kitchenette with a compact fridge, microwave, and coffee maker—perfect for added privacy or extended family stays. Both upstairs bedrooms feature comfortable queen beds—one with serene wooded views and a 42” smart TV, and the other offering glimpses of Torch Lake along with a cozy reading nook.
The spacious four-car garage has been thoughtfully converted into a fun-filled game room, featuring a pool table, ping pong table, and two picnic tables—creating the perfect spot for family gatherings, friendly competition, and making lasting memories together.
Out back, the magic continues with a romantic fire pit, a relaxing hammock, and a grill for family cookouts. Step beyond the backyard and you’ll find yourself immersed in peaceful forest trails—perfect for exploring, unwinding, and making lasting memories together.
This home is located in a quiet residential neighborhood, and we kindly ask guests to respect our neighbors. This vacation home is designed for families looking to create meaningful, lifelong memories—not for loud parties or large gatherings.
