    What's special

    Private dockStunning fireplaceOpen beachAdditional family roomSwimming in crystal-clear watersIncredible guest accommodationsWarm architectural details throughout
    Perched along one of the most coveted stretches at the base of Michigan’s iconic Old Mission Peninsula, this extraordinary custom-built David Webster residence is more than a home — it's a legacy. With 150 feet of pristine sandy frontage and sweeping panoramic views across sparkling West Bay and downtown Traverse City, every detail of this home was thoughtfully designed. Inside, over 4,000 square feet of beautifully curated living space create an inviting atmosphere, including rich maple flooring, extensive custom woodwork, and warm architectural details throughout. Expansive windows frame the bay from nearly every room, filling the home with natural light and endless blue-green water views. The main living area is anchored by a stunning fireplace, while the home’s flowing layout offers exceptional functionality with four bedrooms, four baths, incredible guest accommodations, and ample storage throughout. The lower level features a dedicated craft room, a substantial workshop and storage space, wet bar, additional family room, and direct access to an outdoor storage garage ideal for kayaks, paddle boards, and waterfront living essentials. The bathrooms evoke a spa-like sense of calm and retreat, while practical luxuries such as a whole-home generator and an additional detached garage across the street add convenience and versatility rarely found in waterfront properties. One of the home’s most unforgettable features is the expansive screened-in porch — a true extension of the living space and the perfect setting for morning coffee, sunset cocktails, or evenings spent listening to the waves roll in. From this extraordinary vantage point, enjoy front-row seats to West Bay’s air shows, fireworks, boating activity, and spectacular sunsets that paint the sky each evening. Outside, the open beach and private dock invite endless days spent soaking in the sun, swimming in crystal-clear waters, and experiencing an unparalleled connection to the beauty of Northern Michigan.
