About This Home

As of August 2022

If you've been in search of the perfect family legacy home on Glen Lake, your journey may be over! This splendid offering on Little Glen Lake's coveted north shore has it all! At over 4000 Sq. Ft., this Bob Lange designed, & Easling Construction built home will accommodate your family and friends for generations to come. You'll appreciate the timeless architecture, attention to detail, durable high quality materials and living spaces inside and out. The main level has a stunning perspective on the lake from the generously sized kitchen, dining, step down living room with cozy masonry gas fireplace, and lake facing master suite. Upper level supports the second, third, and fourth bedrooms that share a full bath, a custom detailed office/study (good luck getting any work done!), and studio/recreation/multi-purpose room. Lower level you'll find the family room with second gas fire place, fourth full bath, cedar lined sauna, storage and mechanical area. Outdoor living begins at the lakeside facing, multi level decking, including over the very rare lakeside boat house/toy storage space, and.... two oversized 2+ car garages, one attached, one detached near the top of the paved driveway at Day Forest Road (great for boat storage or your summer cars), with, an additional 24x22 heated & finished work shop that would make a lovely artist studio (lots of natural light via the skylights!). Alligator Hill, a part of the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore is across the the quiet street, great for hiking, skiing, and snowshoeing! This is truly a lovely wooded and private setting, with a generous depth of almost 400 feet, and 100 feet of water front with sandy beach and lake bottom, boat friendly depth at the end of the dock, views of the Sleeping Bear Dunes and sunsets to the west, making this, the perfect up north retreat. Measurements and sizes to be verified by buyers or buyers agents. Showing to begin July 8, 2022 after the family enjoys the 4th of July holiday.
