Property Description
Welcome to this delightful 2-bedroom, 2-bath cottage featuring a spacious loft, nestled along the crystal-clear turquoise waters of a stunning northern Michigan shoreline. Enjoy private beach access with soft sand, lounge chairs, a fire pit, and easy entry to the water; perfect for swimming, kayaking, paddle boarding, or simply soaking in the views of the sparkling lake and distant wooded shores. The cheerful yellow exterior, adorned with flower boxes and charming details, opens to a warm and inviting interior. Vaulted wood-beam ceilings and an open floor plan create a bright, airy feel. The living room centers around a cozy white-brick fireplace with rustic mantel, complemented by comfortable seating, a colorful area rug, and large windows that flood the space with natural light. The fully equipped kitchen offers wood cabinetry, stainless-steel appliances, and a cheerful window view, while the dining area seats guests around a large table with French doors leading outdoors. Upstairs, the large loft provides flexible sleeping and gathering space with multiple beds. Two well-appointed bathrooms and thoughtfully decorated bedrooms complete the comfortable accommodations. Step outside to an expansive deck with outdoor dining and seating under mature trees, a grill area, and a scenic path winding through the woods down to your private stretch of beach. This is more than a cottage; it’s a turnkey lakeside retreat offering unforgettable sunsets, water recreation, and peaceful forest surroundings just minutes from Traverse City amenities. Ideal as a vacation home, getaway, or investment property. Don’t miss this rare opportunity to own a slice of paradise on the water!
