Another standout Silver Lake property in Traverse City. This one checks a lot of boxes. Set on 1.12 private acres with a long, secluded driveway, the home offers 80 feet of hard-packed sand frontage and incredible west-facing views—sunsets here are the kind people wait all day for. The house spans roughly 2,400 square feet with four bedrooms and two and a half baths. It’s been thoughtfully updated over the past few years, so everything feels current without losing character—hardwood floors, custom cabinetry, and clean, well-finished spaces throughout. The primary suite is oversized and includes a bonus room that works perfectly as a nursery, office, or workout space. Outside, the 40x60 pole barn is a major plus—plenty of room for boats, toys, or additional storage. The layout of the decking and covered porch area are facing the water with incredible privacy and big entertaining areas. Whether you’re looking for a year-round home or a true Northern Michigan cottage, this is a really special setting—private, well-kept, and right on the water.
