This is an exceptional, fully reimagined residence offering refined modern living, panoramic views of Little Traverse Bay, ideally located close to Bay Harbor, and only a few miles from downtown Petoskey. This home’s striking exterior is finished in authentic shou sugi ban—an ancient Japanese technique that preserves cedar through charring, resulting in a sophisticated aesthetic with remarkable durability. Offering five bedrooms and three full baths, the home has been comprehensively updated by Birchwood Construction, with all major systems replaced, including, roofing, furnace, hot water heater, septic system, and a whole-house backup generator, delivering true turnkey peace of mind. Inside, a thoughtfully designed open concept layout showcases wide plank wood flooring and dramatic windows that capture the water from nearly every angle. The chef’s kitchen is both elegant and functional, featuring bespoke cabinetry, quartz surfaces, and professional grade appliances. The main level primary suite serves as a private retreat, complete with a custom walk-in California Closet system and a spa like bath featuring a soaking tub and beautifully appointed shower. The outdoor living experience is equally compelling. A generous wraparound deck provides a front row seat to the vibrant sunsets over Lake Michigan, one of Petoskey’s most coveted natural features. Properties of this caliber, where design, craftsmanship, and setting align so seamlessly, are a rare offering. A truly distinguished home not to be missed.
