    Set on the coveted south end of Big Glen Lake with 90 feet of private sandy frontage, this stately cedar shake and brick residence offers a rare opportunity to create generations of memories in one of Leelanau County’s most treasured settings. Designed for gathering and relaxed lakefront living, the 4,041 sq ft home features four bedrooms plus additional den and recreation spaces, offering flexibility for hosting family and friends year-round. A welcoming brick courtyard framed with seasonal blooms creates an elegant first impression, while inside, expansive lake views and warm gathering spaces invite connection. The thoughtfully designed kitchen offers extensive cabinetry, abundant counter workspace, a center island, double ovens, and a unique fold-up countertop bridge connecting the island to the counter—perfect for additional prep space, casual dining, or buffet-style entertaining. Oak hardwood flooring flows from the foyer and hall through the kitchen and dining area, complementing the home’s timeless character and comfortable layout. The living room centers around a wood-burning fireplace, creating a cozy gathering place after long days on the lake while expansive windows frame beautiful views of Big Glen Lake. The main-floor primary suite, main-floor laundry, and oversized two-car garage with built-in storage provide convenience for everyday living, while the additional guest bedrooms, den, and rec room offer plenty of space for multi-generational enjoyment. Outside, two spacious lakefront patios provide exceptional outdoor living with ample room for grilling, entertaining, dining, and sunbathing just steps from the shoreline. Spend your days boating, swimming, paddleboarding, or relaxing along the sandy beach while taking in panoramic lake views. Perfectly positioned near renowned local favorites Funistrada and La Becasse, this combines peaceful waterfront living with convenient access to Sleeping Bear Dunes, and Glen Arbor.
