1164 E Traverse Lake Rd, Cedar, MI 49621

LITTLE TRAVERSE LAKE - This meticulously maintained craftsman style home blends timeless design with modern comforts, creating a true lakefront sanctuary. It has nearly 3700 square feet of interior living space, 4 bedrooms and 4 ‚ ½ baths, ample gathering areas, and overflow sleeping space with commanding views of the lake throughout. The current owners have undertaken a long list of improvements and upgrades including granite countertops, refinished solid wood flooring, beautifully overhauled decks and extensive landscaping. The home offers single-story living, with a private primary suite opposite the generous common areas and a three-season screened porch that feels inviting rain or shine. Upstairs, youll find another ensuite bedroom plus two more and a second full bathroom. The open lower level offers flexible space for an office, workout area, and game room, along with another full bath and a walk-out to a new composite deck that spans the width of the home and provides access to the waterfront. Outside, a professionally landscaped front yard/garden area leads from the paved driveway to a covered entry. On the lakeside, the owners have encouraged the restoration of native species, which is not only ecologically beneficial to the lake, but is a low-maintenance solution that serves double-duty as a refuge for the abundant wildlife passing through from the Sleeping Bear National Lakeshore just across Traverse Lake Road. The shoreline of this section of Little Traverse Lake has a firm sand bottom and the lake itself is fantastic for all activities from fishing to watersports, yet is free of crowds. And with the Swanson Preserve and the recently protected Sugar Loaf Mountain creating the backdrop across the lake, your views will never change.

Nestled along picturesque Little Traverse Lake, this gorgeous Northern Michigan Craftsman cottage is a sunny, south-facing waterfront property with views of Sugarloaf Mountain! Fully furnished, this is a perfect opportunity for a year-round residence, a special seasonal get-away, or an investment rental. The water views continue inside through large windows lining the south wall of an open-concept living/dining area with a wood-burning fireplace and built-in shelves. Entertain in the bright kitchen featuring a unique granite farmhouse sink and bar seating. The main-floor primary bedroom has a private, walk-out balcony and open shower en-suite. There is plenty of room for family or guests with four bedrooms + two bonus rooms for an office or craft room, 4.5 baths, locking closets, and a spacious lower-level family room with a walk-out deck. Relax in the hammock on the screened-in porch, or take a stroll down the boardwalk and get a glimpse of plenty of local wildlife along the way. The exterior features cedar siding, a 2 car attached garage with additional attic storage, easy-to-maintain landscaping, and dock for a boat. With ownership comes the opportunity to join the active Little Traverse Lake Association. Home is across from unforgettable hiking trails out to Good Harbor Bay on Lake Michigan. 10 minutes from Leland, Cedar, and Maple City, and only 15 from Glen Arbor.
