Listing Description

There's a saying within the agricultural industry, "grapes & other fruit grown in the area, like to look at the water". When vineyards & orchards have views of the Lake Michigan or other inland lakes, the water tends to temper & protect the vines & trees from the chilling effects of Northern Michigan winters. Such is the setting for this fantastic offering, located in the area what decades ago was called Glen Lake Orchards. This is one of the last homes along a ridge line that runs south to north on the eastern hills flanking Big Glen Lake, 940' feet in elevation, towering above the north east corner of the lake with some of the best views in the area; Big Glen and Fisher Lake, Alligator Hill, Sleeping Bear Point, South Manitou and Sleeping Bear Bay & the Manitou Passage. Doesn't get much better than this! This circa 1970's well built chalet/cottage hybrid, has been thoughtfully updated & maintained by the second owners, here since 1993, who are ready to pass the keys to their successors. The views from inside & the west facing exterior living areas are amazing! You'll love the spacious living room with cozy wood burning stove & brick hearth, real oak floors that stretch into the inviting dining area & beyond into a magnificent chefs kitchen, where friends & family will certainly want to gather. A massive island with butcher block top anchors this culinary space, with gas 6 burner cook top, with additional Corrian countertop workspaces that that cover the abundant galley style array of cabinetry on either flank. An upper cabinet with glass doors & back is framed artistically in front of an exterior window, letting lots of natural light into this creative space. The main level, water view, primary/master suite, with a spa-like bathroom, & yes, a soaking tub that has a "sitting view", are all divine! 2 upper level bedrooms share a full bath with Portuguese accent tiles, the west bedroom, maybe the best views in the house.
