Rare North Lake Craftsman Cottage - Lakefront Living at Its Finest

This exceptional 4-bedroom, 3.5-bath Craftsman cottage offers direct frontage on spring-fed North Lake, one of Southeast Michigan's most coveted all-sports lakes. With 227 acres of pristine water and a maximum depth of 55 feet, North Lake is a rare treasure--homes here seldom come to market.

From the moment you arrive, winding brick paths and stone-lined steps lead you to the welcoming front porch. Inside, large windows fill the home with natural light and frame stunning lake views. The cheerful kitchen features crisp white cabinetry, garden views, and a dining area generous enough for hosting a crowd. The kitchen flows into a spacious living room with a striking fieldstone fireplace and panoramic views of the water. Step onto the deck to enjoy breakfast while watching early fishing boats in search of largemouth bass, bluegill, and perch. Graceful trumpeter swans glide by. A red-tailed hawk visits the branch of a nearby tree.

This is a home designed for every season of lake life. Summer days are spent swimming, playing water volleyball, or waterskiing right from your private dock. Evenings begin with happy hour on the pontoon and end under the stars, with your telescope on the deck. Winters of ice skating, hockey and ice fishing on the lake, cross-country skiing on the nearby Potawatomi Trail, or settling in with a book by the fireplace, fill your days.

Custom-crafted wrought iron detailing accents the deck and balcony railings, adding to the home's charm. Two loft spaces provide flexibility for work, hobbies, or guests. The 2,913 sq. ft. layout includes a walk-out lower level with a cozy sitting room and fireplace, wine cellar, and a full bathideal for entertaining after a day on the lake.
Whether you're drawn to the serenity of nature or the energy of all-sports recreation, this property offers the perfect balance. This is lake living at its best.Your North Lake haven awaits.
