4123 birch drive

Invite guests to this attractive waterfront home on 1.7 acres with 100 feet of private, direct, sandy-bottom frontage and a dock on all-sports Big Platte Lake. Tucked away on Birch Point, near Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore property, this four-bedroom, two-bath, air-conditioned home offers an attached garage, a second 1200 sq. ft. garage, and one-quarter interest in an additional 6.3 acres to protect your privacy. The home’s interior features stunning views of the lake from most rooms, starting with Great Room’s soaring window views of the water accented by a wood vaulted ceiling and a sliding door to the deck. Overlooking this room, with its own views of the water, is the cook’s kitchen offering dual, built-in wall ovens, a Viking stainless gas stove with griddle, enormous counter space and lots of cupboards for cookware and pantry items. A tiled floor and backsplash provide easy kitchen clean-up. A cozy, living room, also with lake views, includes a wood-burning fireplace with a brick hearth and plenty of space for reading, watching TV or snuggling with pets. Also on the main level are two bedrooms. The primary bedroom has a private door to the shared bath with a tiled shower. The second bedroom has a slider to the lake-facing deck, and an entry to the mud/laundry room with washer-dryer, sink and cabinets. Upstairs are two more bedrooms, a full bath, and large storage space under the eaves. Amenities include cable TV/internet, natural gas forced-air and baseboard heating, and a lawn sprinkler system. The grassy, manicured yard includes tasteful landscaping and the back lawn leads to the sandy shore. Sit in a rocker on your covered front porch, or relax in a lounge chaise on the deck. It's an easy, pretty drive to the hoppin' city of Frankfort and villages of Honor and Beulah. Right around the corner, across M-22, are trails leading to Lake Michigan. Paddle from your private frontage on Big Platte Lake all the way to Lake Michigan.
