855 N South Long Lake Rd Traverse City, MI 49685

There is so much to love in this spacious Long Lake home! Set on 75' of sand-bottom frontage with a west-facing shoreline for sunsets, this property is slightly elevated above the water - enough to provide outstanding views but with only a few easy steps to the water. Cherished as a lakefront residence for many years, the home is generously sized and with 5 large bedrooms, it can easily sleep 12+ people with lots of room to spare. Highlights include two main-level living areas, both with sliders to the water-side deck, one with a wood-burning fireplace; a well-equipped kitchen with a breakfast nook and a butler's pantry with a pass-through window, a wine bar just outside the formal dining room, a main-floor master bedroom overlooking the water, a second main-floor bedroom, and a finished game room in the lower level. The upper level hosts the remaining three bedrooms and two additional baths, along with an abundance of storage closets; two of the upper level bedrooms share a balcony on the water side of the home. Several decks surround the home with plenty of space to entertain. Gorgeous landscaping graces the property with perennial beds and a relaxing water fountain. The trees near the water also hold a special secret - a hidden tree house! The young and young-at-heart alike will delight in this charming feature - with a built-in bunk bed it's suitable for sleeping while the water gently laps at the shoreline just outside. This beloved gathering space is ready for a new chapter - continue the story with your family memories on Long Lake!
