About This Home
As of June 2025This charming home is the perfect balance of get away serenity and access to the fun. Watch the sunset atop 3 acres overlooking Little Traverse Bay from your private, screen enclosed porch, then head 10 minutes East to Petoskey or West to Charlevoix for shopping and a glass of wine. I asked the owners what they will miss... 'We will miss the summer breezes while entertaining friends and family, and the crossing of deer and bald eagles through the meadow - the birds are just incredible here. We will miss the turning of birch trees from green to bright yellow, and, of course, we will miss unwinding in the hot tub as the sun sets over Little Traverse Bay.' Meticulously loved and appreciated, just walking in the door feels good. welcome its new caretakers.
