Situated on Long Lake Peninsula, tucked into nearly 2 acres and overlooking 175' of private Long Lake frontage, this unique "Up North Cottage meets Contemporary Cabin" year round home boasts a secluded feeling, just 20 minutes from Traverse City. You are greeted by oversized windows and abundant natural light as you step through the custom front door. Maple hardwood floors carry you throughout the main floor. Designed for expanding living space, the double sliding glass doors in the dining room open to a large composite deck affording panoramic views of Long Lake. Additional tree trimming can cater to your balance of privacy and water views. Custom cabinets and granite countertops featured in the oversized kitchen flow seamlessly into the captivating Great Room where you can cozy up to the stone gas fireplace or star gaze out the high transom windows. "Working" from home has a new meaning when you are perched in the loft office enjoying sweeping views of Long Lake Peninsula and the water far below. The main floor primary suite features a custom fully tiled shower. The lower level primary (yes, your choice of two!) boasts a flex area for work out equipment or an additional home office. The en suite bath is your own private sanctuary with a large soaker tub to wash away the day. Tulip Tree paneling from the owner's own childhood farm flank the lower level walkout living room complete with cozy wood stove and loads of full sized windows for natural light. As you are led by lighted path down to the beautiful sandy frontage of Long Lake, you can stop and relax in the fully screened and lighted gazebo; the perfect spot for an evening glass of wine or morning coffee. Several adorable outbuildings offer room for your favorite hobbies; a workshop, gardening shed or art studio. This custom home is truly a must see to appreciate the fine features such as wood siding made from the property it sits on, natural landscaping with irrigation for carefree living and sandy frontage.
