Nestled among mature trees on Long Lake Peninsula, this one-owner custom home offers a rare combination of privacy, natural beauty, and convenience. Located directly across from Doerr Park and including private access to Long Lake Peninsula's members-only boat launch, you'll enjoy all the benefits of Long Lake access while taking advantage of lower non-waterfront property taxes. Inside, the 3-bedroom, 2-bath home is filled with natural light thanks to soaring vaulted ceilings, a skylight, and an open floor plan that creates an inviting, airy feel. A cozy fireplace anchors the main living space, while the spacious deck provides the perfect place to entertain, or relax and take in the peaceful wooded surroundings. The mostly finished walkout lower level offers abundant office space with endless possibilities for recreation, hobbies, or guests. A partially completed sauna is ready for your finishing touches, with materials already onsite, allowing you to customize the space to your own vision. Lovingly built and meticulously maintained by its original owner, this home is being offered for the first time. Tucked away on Long Lake Peninsula, you're just minutes from downtown Traverse City's dining, shopping, and recreation while enjoying the quiet setting and outdoor lifestyle that make the Long Lake Peninsula so special.
