8868 park lane

Nestled between the lakes and amidst the towering pines that inspired the creation of Michigans first state park sits 8868 Park Lane, a well kept property with a secondary building just steps away. This 3 bed/1.5 bathroom home is about as close as you can come to living in a state park: the forested edge of Interlochen State Park is directly across the street with a convenient trail leading to the park and its beach. The path to the world renowned Interlochen Center for the Arts is within sight of the dining room window. There is a dock on Duck Lake roughly 500 ft down the road (which makes a great swimming area) and one can also wheel a kayak, canoe, or small sailboat along the trail to the launch at the state parks campground. Don't have a canoe? Problem solved, as one conveys with this property. Inside the house, you will find restored hardwood floors, an updated kitchen with appliances that are all new since 2022 (PLUS a new Frigidaire Gallery refrigerator and induction stove being delivered soon), first floor Speed Queen laundry and a high efficiency boiler that was installed just over three years ago. The house is very efficient to heat. There are two bedrooms downstairs and a large room which runs the full length of the house upstairs. It can be used how you see fit - bedroom, play room, office, guest space - you name it! Outside you will find flagstone patios in the front and back of the house. The property also has a heated and plumbed secondary building with a brand new epoxy floor, small kitchen, half bath, living area and lots of area upstairs to use as it suits you. The scenic and walkable neighborhood, water access, and proximity to both Interlochen State Park and the Interlochen Center for the Arts make this property a unique offering. Whether you are headed to the beach, the dock, or a concert at the Arts Center, you can get there from here!
