1596 W Long Lake Road Rd, Traverse City, MI 49685

Enjoy one of the best views on Long Lake in this completely remodeled cottage with 100' of sand-bottom frontage! From it's slightly elevated position it hosts glorious sunrise views over the islands, and there are just a few steps in between you and the prime waterfront. Open to the big water, it's perfect for swimming, boating, and other water sports. The home was remodeled in the last few years with modern touches while still retaining the charming elements of a vintage cottage - a third bedroom and second bath were added, the kitchen was opened up and a seldom-used mudroom was transformed into a spacious dining room. The original wood floors in the living room were retained and wood floors were added into the rest of the cottage. Rooms were beautifully repainted in a pleasing neutral color palate, tile was added in the kitchen backsplash and bathrooms, along with new lighting fixtures. You'll find an additional finished sleeping space at the rear of the over-sized garage. Relax outside on the front patio or the water-side full length deck. Nestled on the water's edge is a classic boat house with a picnic area on top - the perfect spot for enjoying the vantage point this property offers. Welcome to life on Long Lake!

Stunning island views on Long Lake! From it's slightly-elevated position on the western shore of Long Lake, this property offers views of not only the islands and sparkling water of Long Lake, but also captivating sunrises over the water, welcoming you to another glorious day of life on the lake. The 100' of frontage is wonderful - sandy bottom and open to the big water - ideal for swimming, boating, fishing and more. The home is suitable for year-round use and has seen extensive updating in the last 4 years, from the furnace and electrical panel, to the fireplace, walls and floors. Highlights include refinished counters in the island kitchen, built-in dressers in the bedrooms, and a water-side den/mudroom that could easily sleep a guest or two. The living area was renovated to uncover hardwood floors and knotty pine tongue-and-groove walls, the fireplace was stripped and given a natural stone surround, and outside the large windows trees were removed from the backyard to usher in an absolutely stunning water view. You'll love the picnic area that rests on top of the classic boathouse - the perfect perch for enjoying views and cool breezes. The one-car garage is over-sized and features a finished room at the back, large enough for guests sleeping over.
