Located on Paradesia Point, one of Leelanau Peninsula's most desirable lakefront locations, this beautiful three-bedroom/three-bathroom home hasn't been on the market since it was custom-built in 1985. With sweeping views, 1.22 acres, and 180 feet of direct frontage on Grand Traverse Bay, the charming 3,500-square-foot home is an architectural treasure, complete with two-story stone fireplace, vaulted ceilings, skylights, old-growth wood paneling, spiral staircase with hand-hewn logs, and a wonderful glass atrium entrance. The crowning glory is its oversized four-season porch that opens to an additional full-length covered back porch, offering unmatched, unobstructed views of Lake Michigan. The open kitchen, which includes Wolf range, Sub Zero fridge, stainless steel GE dishwasher, and custom cabinetry, opens to a large family room and dining room, all with lovely lake views. The sizeable first-floor primary suite includes its own sitting room and additional stone fireplace, as well as ensuite bathroom and walk-in-closet. The two bedrooms upstairs share a jack-and-jill bathroon plus a spacious, light-flooded loft for guests or an additonal living area/flex space. Surrounded by hardwoods and towering pines, the beautifully landscaped property includes thoughtful, well-maintained gardens, winding paver walkways and a gazebo. Attached two-car garage with EV hookup, 220 outlet and electric garage door opener. This energy-efficient home is equipped with geothermal heating and cooling, and there's a separate split for the large atrium entrance. Located three miles north of downtown Northport on a scenic, winding road, the home is close enough to town to be convenient, yet offers the perfect balance of privacy and seclusion for a peaceful retreat.
