The best-kept secret in Traverse City! Located on a hidden lake that even locals don’t know about, this beautifully remodeled home is just a couple miles from downtown Traverse City. One look at this picturesque “On Golden Pond” setting and you will never want to leave. Only 14 properties have an interest in this private, spring-fed lake with no public access. The current owners lovingly remodeled this treasured home in 2002 to be the ultimate in functionality and to take full advantage of the surroundings. A covered porch greets you on arrival, surrounded by perennials. The floor plan has excellent flow and is highlighted by generous windows overlooking the lake. Cherry cabinets grace the remodeled kitchen along with hardwood floors, a granite-topped island, a gas fireplace, a computer nook, built-in pantry and versatile dining space. The master suite is sumptuous and spacious, with a walk-in closet and private bath with a tile shower, his-and-hers sinks, and plenty of storage. Two more bedrooms on the main level offer lovely lake views. The walkout lower level was finished during the remodel, with extra excavation to bring in ample natural light and features a fourth conforming bedroom, a built-in sauna, a kitchenette, game area and family room. Storage abounds in this home with countless closets and two large storage rooms in the basement. Entertain on the back deck, overlooking the jewel in the crown of this property, the lakeside setting. Bass and bluegill swim right up to the dock, begging to be caught. A kids’ treehouse even overlooks the lake. The lake is 35′ deep just a few feet off the dock, and being a smaller lake, it warms up much more quickly that other inland lakes, giving you the advantage of swimming early in the summer. Professional landscaping lends beauty and privacy to the backyard, with a seasonal view of West Bay. Elmwood Park is adjacent to the sub and TART Trail is nearby. All this is just 3.7 miles to Munson and downtown Traverse City.
