Step back in time and experience the charm of a true Up North retreat, where craftsmanship, character, and nostalgia come together to create a feeling all its own. This one-of-a-kind property captures the personality of an era when homes were built with intention, and that timeless character can still be felt in every room. Inside, wood accents, tongue-and-groove walls, exposed beams, and handcrafted details create an atmosphere filled with authenticity. Vibrant colors, vintage wallpaper, and thoughtfully preserved touches throughout the home paint a vivid picture of its history and personality. At the heart of the home sits a striking three-sided brick fireplace with classic chain-link screens, serving as a true focal point for gathering and relaxing. The kitchen embraces the homes retro roots with dark wood cabinetry and styling that complements its distinctive character. Flexible bonus space offers endless possibilities for a home office, rec room, studio, or quiet retreat, while the inviting three-season room provides the perfect place to enjoy morning coffee and rainy afternoons with a book. Outside is where the Up North lifestyle truly comes to life. Hundreds of acres of state land sit directly across the road, offering opportunities for hiking, hunting, and exploration. Green Lake is nearby for boating, fishing, and swimming, and the world-renowned Interlochen Center for the Arts is just minutes away, bringing concerts, performances, and cultural experiences. Local dining, shopping, and everyday conveniences are close by, with Traverse City only about 30 minutes away. The property also offers incredible versatility with a charming carriage house featuring cathedral ceilings and stained-glass windows, offering a great space for guests or private office. The large polebarn features 16ft pass-through doors perfect for all your outdoor toys and workshop space. Full of warmth, personality, and timeless character, this property is ready to begin its next chapter.
