About This Home

As of May 2025

Classic Earl Young inspired home on possibly the best 153’ on Round Lake. Timeless architecture and warm décor wrap 6 bedrooms, 5 baths and inviting common rooms overlooking lavish landscaping and the best harbor on the Great Lakes. A permanent concrete pier and slips can accommodate a variety of watercraft and yachts of almost any length or width with full power and water hookups. 1 Thistle Downs is at the end of a private lane giving it maximum privacy but just a short distance to all that the quaint village of Charlevoix has to offer. One could make the case that this is the best location on the best harbor, in the best resort town on the Great Lakes. $3,500,000
