About This Home

Tucked along 100 feet of private, sandy frontage on all-sports Island Lake, this home offers that relaxed Up North feel with the convenience of being just minutes from downtown Traverse City. Gather with friends on the lakeside deck, unwind by the fireplace on a winter evening, or host summer get-togethers on the patio, just steps from the water’s edge. With a woodstove in the lower level, plenty of space to spread out, and year-round recreation right outside your door, this is the kind of place that feels like home in every season.
