About This Home

As of August 2014

Jack and Sandie Taylor were charmed by unique architecture, specifically a home near the Lake Michigan shore near Pentwater, the "Bee House" as it was known to the locals, and gave the Taylor's the inspiration to create their own version. Four twelve sided "pods" make up this one of a kind home. The central living area is 30' in diameter, and has two similar wings, an east flanking master suite, the western side two spacious bedrooms that share a full bath beyond a linear, european influenced kitchen and dining area. "Topping" the west wing is another 12 sided element, the 15' diameter, "crows nest", with windows that have countryside and water views of nearby Little Traverse Lake and Good Harbor Bay and Whaleback to the north, ready to be finished into study, studio, or enchanting kids place. Seasonal views of Whaleback and Good Harbor Bay from the living room and over 500 sq. ft. of decking as well, expanding the entertaining/outside living space. The lower level is comprised of two "pod" areas, one larger open family room space, the other with bedroom potential and a full bath with shower stall, storage and utility space, so plenty of room for the larger family or those who like to have company. Fourth "pod" is a workshop/potting shed area with lots of potential uses from toy storage to sauna, or?? Property is being offered with adjacent vacant parcel so room to garden or build a larger family compound. Adjacent to the Scenic Mountain View Estates Park area to the east and Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore to the north. Possession offered at the time of closing.
