About This Home

As of June 2025

Views! Views! Views! While the phrase "location, location, location" often defines real estate, in northern Michigan, it’s all about Views, Views, Views! This home boasts some of the most stunning, panoramic views we’ve ever seen, including breathtaking vistas of Little Traverse Bay, Harbor Point, rolling hills, and Round Lake. Designed by the renowned Northern Michigan architect David Troutman, this residence is situated on a double lot with an exceptional design and breathtaking scenery. Every room features large windows that frame these magnificent views. The primary suite offers two separate en-suite bathrooms, two large walk-in closets, and a private deck perfect for sipping coffee or quietly reading a book while taking in the breathtaking views. The home includes a large living room with vaulted ceilings and a wood-burning fireplace with a Dave Trautman signature brick surround. Enjoy meals in the spacious dining room, eat-in kitchen, or main floor family room, which also includes an additional wood-burning fireplace. A large, sunny deck is great for relaxing or entertaining. The walk-out lower level includes three additional bedrooms, a rumpus room, full bath, and office. The basement provides extra space for a workout room, plenty of storage, and large windows. One side of the house offers views of mature forested ravines, creating a dramatic landscape. Additionally, the home comes with an oversized 3 + garage with plenty of storage, a workshop, beautiful wildflower gardens, mature fruit trees, and ample space to play and entertain. Don’t miss the opportunity to own a home with such unparalleled vistas and exceptional design! Note: Fireplaces currently have wood burning stoves inserted.
