Property Description
Stroll into this fairytale woodland cottage surrounded by the enchanted forests, glistening lakes and quaint villages of Leelanau County. A place where treasured quiet, natural surroundings and the convenience of proximity make this spot your tranquil oasis. At home here, you’ll experience the pleasure of Big and Little Glen Lakes, Empire, Glen Arbor, Burdickville and the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Park, all within minutes of your door and an easy twenty five minutes to Traverse City. This rare gem has been built and curated by a cherished Leelanau County artist for over 40 years. The style and finishes are the intersection of where quality materials and artistry meet. Think…oak hardwood floors…rooms flooded with natural light…the warmth and ambiance of a parlor stove…primary bedroom on the main level, two other upper bedrooms share a full bathroom, "Jack and Jill" style...a two car finished garage as an artist’s studio or maybe a workshop, and a beauteous studio apartment above. In recent years the apartment had been used as an innkeeper’s quarters for seasonal and year round rental of the main house. It certainly could be used in a variety of income configurations as well as an in-law suite, home office, writer’s and or artist’s retreat etc. or simply, a very convenient solution to host friends and family from out of town. However you are inclined, this is a place for those who love peace, relaxation and a long cold drink of “wow that’s good†water. Kick back on one of the multiple porches or balconies, take in the gardens in blossom and enjoy this special place where every hour here is golden. We are going to keep this open and available for showings until April 29th at 3pm when all offers will be due, to give those from out of area a chance to come and view this special property.
