3096 Collier Rd, Traverse City, MI 49685

The best of both waterfront worlds is right here on Mickey Lake! Enjoy the peaceful calm of a no-wake lake with channel access to the excitement of all-sports Long Lake - one of the gems of northern Michigan waterfront. This classic lakefront cottage underwent a 2004 Ken Richmond-designed remodel to become an elevated yet comfortable year-round home with custom woodwork and spectacular views from most rooms. You'll love the impressive great room that greets you upon entry, featuring tongue-and-groove beamed cathedral ceilings anchored by a stone fireplace, wood floors, and a wall of windows overlooking the water with a convenient window bench. Gracing the kitchen are granite counters, stainless appliances, custom cabinetry, dual ovens, and a walk-in pantry. The primary suite features a private bath with a soaking tub and shower stall, along with a walk-in closet and doors to the water-side deck. Two more bedrooms and a full bath complete the main level. The walkout level is finished with a large family room with a wood stove, fourth bedroom, and a full bath with a jetted tub, along with a storage room accessed from outside for all the water accessories. The storage in this home is exceptional - you'll find closets galore throughout, all with solid-core wood doors. The heating system is an efficient geothermal heat pump with central air, with a back-up natural gas forced air system; the whole-home generator gives you peace of mind. There are many locales on the exterior of the home designed to maximize your enjoyment of the beautiful surroundings - the water-side deck, the side covered porch, and the walkout patio.
