Listing Description

Presenting a one of a kind East Leland residence. With over 160' of sandy shoreline on North Lake Leelanau, this offering features expansive westerly views sweeping from the beautiful waters of the north end, over the village of Leland, to the iconic profile of Whaleback. This special year-round home has been enjoyed by one family, throughout several generations. What began as a simple, early 1960s cottage, has grown into a contemporary gem, rich with quality finishes, and designed to meet the expectations of luxury on the lake in Northern Michigan. In 2016, this home was comprehensively remodeled and expanded - absolutely transforming the original lake-side cottage, while preserving special historical elements as nostalgic reminders of the past. Vintage slate floors, black cherry paneling from North Manitou Island, Pecky cypress, and redwood beams remain as decorative features, and an outstanding hand-split, fieldstone fireplace visually anchors the main entertaining space. Built to accommodate the extended family, the main house is complimented by an attached studio / flex space with private entry. In the main house, all rooms are oriented lakeside to showcase views of the water. Lake-level, a fabulous primary suite, kitchen, living room, and library all walk-out to a beautiful outdoor patio. On the main floor, a generous family room with covered deck and 3 bedrooms stretch along the front of the home, with every window capturing sunset views. Situated privately on the third floor above the 3-car garage, the studio (or Bird's Nest) has peekaboo views of the lake and yard. This independent suite is a carefully curated bonus space with amenities for guests to enjoy and space for kids to play. Numerous noteworthy features have been incorporated into this home. Every aspect of this modern, lakeside retreat reflects a thoughtful, generational investment into the architecture; perfectly echoing and enhancing this special piece of shoreline!
