Waterfront living on an all-sports lake doesn't have to come with a multi-million-dollar price tag. Offering 100 feet of private, sandy-bottom frontage on Rennie Lake, this well-maintained home is a rare opportunity to enjoy Northern Michigan lake life —just a short drive from downtown Traverse City. Designed with flexibility in mind, the home's layout works equally well as a year-round residence, seasonal getaway, or investment property. The main level is centered around gathering, featuring an open kitchen, dining area, and living room with a wood-burning fireplace, while upstairs you'll find three bedrooms, including a spacious primary suite with beautiful lake views. The finished walk-out lower level offers additional versatility with a private one-bedroom suite complete with its own living area and kitchenette. With a strong rental history and consistent care over the years, the home is ready to enjoy from day one. Inside and out, you will appreciate thoughtful updates and quality finishes, plenty of space to relax, entertain, and take in the lake views, while the low-maintenance nature means more time spent enjoying the water. Rennie Lake spans approximately 238 acres of all-sports recreation, making it easy to spend your summers boating, fishing, paddleboarding, kayaking, swimming, or gathering at the popular sandbar in the middle of the lake. Across the water, undeveloped state land creates a peaceful backdrop, while nearby hiking and snowmobile trails make this a destination for every season. Offered turn-key furnished, this is a true move-in-ready opportunity—whether you're searching for a full-time residence, a seasonal escape, or a proven investment property.
