About This Home

As of June 2016

Updated 3 BR, 2 Bath Spider Lake home with an open floor plan, sandy beach, deep wooded lot and one of the nicest spots on the lake. This home works great for a year round home, cottage or vacation rental property. Updates include new roof (including trusses), mechanicals, plumbing, wiring, siding and windows in 2005. Almost 100 feet of prime south facing beach and some of the best fishing on the lake. Spider Lake is an all sports lake located only 10 miles from downtown Traverse City. Hard to find almost new lakefront home this close to town.
