About this home

Exceptional setting for this quaint home located within boundaries of Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore. Great location- close to sand dunes, hiking trails and beach access on Little Glen and Lake Michigan. Originally Springdale School, a one room school house converted into home years ago. The category 3 designation excludes this property from the park and allows private ownership to continue. 2 screened porches and 24 x 36 garage. Photos 2 & 3 are from the past when used as Springdale School.
