Property Description
Exceptional Grand Traverse Bay waterfront on Old Mission Peninsula, where timeless craftsmanship, privacy, and breathtaking west-facing sunsets come together. Set on 150' of private waterfront along a quiet road shared by only a handful of homes, this special property offers a rare sense of peace and seclusion surrounded by mature trees and abundant wildlife. Originally completed in 1988, the home was meticulously hand-built with every nail driven by hand. Clear cedar siding adds enduring character, while a comprehensive 2020 renovation brought the home into the modern era with new Marvin windows, enhanced insulation, updated flooring, kitchen and baths, GE Monogram appliances, Dura Supreme cabinetry, quartz countertops, custom built-ins, and a gas fireplace. Designed to capture the setting, nearly every room enjoys beautiful water views. The expansive second-floor great room features a dramatic picture window overlooking the bay, creating an exceptional gathering space and showcasing spectacular sunsets throughout the year. A queen Murphy bed adds flexibility for guests. Recent improvements include new furnaces, A/C, water heater, heated garage, Trex decks, extensive landscaping and hardscape, automated irrigation and outdoor lighting, and a fully equipped outdoor kitchen with Blaze BBQ. A whole-house Generac generator was added in 2026. With sandy waterfront, multiple outdoor entertaining spaces, exceptional sunset views, and a history of hosting weddings, parties, and family gatherings, this is more than a home—it is a place to create lasting memories. Spend summer days swimming off the dock, paddle boarding and kayaking across the bay, or enjoying carefree afternoons playing on the beach. Gather with family and friends by the water, then end the day watching the sun set across Grand Traverse Bay. A truly distinctive Northern Michigan waterfront retreat. Home is offered mostly furnished including the dock, hoist, and boat.
