1278 s manitou trail

Tucked back off of M-22 is a perfectly landscaped 2.2-acre estate, with 260 feet of west-facing Lake Michigan waterfront on coveted Good Harbor Bay. The original cottage was built in 1925, renovated in 1990, and impeccably maintained over the years. Fall in love with vintage charm and unobstructed views of Pyramid Point (the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Park), Manitou Islands, all the way to Whaleback in Leland. Entertain on the many outdoor patios and spacious waterfront deck with sandy swimming just a few steps away. Set up yard games, pick flowers from the lush garden, and store supplies in the matching garden house (water & electric). The original cottage (south wing) is perfect for guests with an inviting main floor master, private bath complete with jetted soaking tub, walk-in shower, screened porch, and authentic fieldstone fireplace. Above the master is a whimsical bunk room with two built-in beds overlooking the lake and living room. Original hardwood floors lead you into the stunning great room with vaulted, beamed ceilings, traditional chandeliers, large windows, and stone fireplace #2. Quality construction is evident in the stonework, detailed trim, and arched doorways. Off the formal dining area is the well-appointed kitchen, family/dining room with stone fireplace #3. Almost every room has brilliant blue/green water views. The north wing has a separate entrance into a sunroom which leads to the laundry, half bath, and kitchen. Head up the northern staircase to the second private master suite. Large closets, stone fireplace #4, sitting area, and a full bath are sure to please! Two additional bedrooms with a shared bath complete the upper level. 2-car garage and walkout lower level boast loads of storage along with a convenient bath to shower off after a long day at the beach. A treasure in the heart of Good Harbor Bay awaits.
