About This Home

11838 Lakeshore Drive

Where Art, Story, and Lake Michigan Meet‹ There's a certain magic to this Lake Michigan cottage with 150' of waterfront, a feeling that sweeps over you the moment you arrive. Set along the quiet shores of Norwood, just south of ‹≈Charlevoix the Beautiful,' this home was lovingly designed by a French literature professor and a famed local architect who dreamed of recreating the charm of the French countryside right here in Northern Michigan. Inside, a Swedish wood-burning stove glows on cool evenings, wood and tile floors whisper with history, and wide decks open to endless views of Grand Traverse Bay and the distant Leelanau Peninsula. An outdoor fireplace invites long conversations under the stars, while the timeless stucco exterior, freshly painted, completes the old-world charm. Though steeped in story and character, this 2x6 framed home has been thoughtfully refreshed with a geothermal heat pump, handcrafted Old Mission windows, Ayers Basement Systems , and a new well pump‹”ensuring that its beauty endures for generations. This is more than a home‹”it's a retreat for dreamers, artists, and anyone who longs for a life woven with poetry, nostalgia, and the rhythm of the lake." Offered Turn-key, move right in and start making memories.
