About This Home

Welcome to lake living at its absolute finest. This 5 bed/6 bath home has been completely reimagined and remodeled down to the studs, with no detail overlooked. Set on a stunningly landscaped double parcel offering 150 feet of private frontage on the sparkling waters of Elk Lake, this property delivers exceptional privacy, space, and panoramic water views in one of Northern Michigan’s most sought-after locations. The home’s newly constructed interior pairs modern finishes with warm, neutral tones, creating a refined yet relaxed atmosphere throughout. Expansive windows frame the turquoise waters of Elk Lake, flooding the living spaces with natural light. The layout is equally suited to quiet everyday living or entertaining on a larger scale, with five well-appointed bedrooms, six baths, and laundry on both the main and lower levels, offering room for everyone. Outside, the sprawling lakefront lot offers both peace and beauty, featuring lush gardens, mature trees, and plenty of open space to enjoy long summer days. But the true highlight? Direct access to the Elk River Chain of Lakes- boat from your backyard to the famous Caribbean-blue waters of Torch Lake! Whether you're seeking a year-round residence or the ultimate Northern Michigan getaway, this fully rebuilt lakefront home blends luxury, location, and livability like few others. All just minutes from the charming Village of Elk Rapids and a short drive to Traverse City.
