The view hits you immediately upon entering: East Bay stretching out before you, Old Mission Peninsula on the horizon, and the kind of blue that makes Northern Michigan unforgettable. At nearly 3,000 square feet of recently updated space, there's genuine room to breathe here. Four bedrooms and three bathrooms, plus a bonus non-conforming double bunk room in the lower level, means everyone has a place to land - whether you're hosting a full house or settling in for a long weekend. The main floor bedroom with private bath access makes single-floor living easy, while the primary suite upstairs features its own private walkout balcony. Two living areas give the layout natural flexibility - gather together or spread out, depending on the day. The large kitchen with granite countertops is built for real cooking and easy conversation, flowing openly into the living spaces so no one's left out of the fun. Step outside to multiple decks facing the bay, perfectly positioned for morning coffee, afternoon sun, and evening skies that turn every shade of orange and pink. Walk right down to the water and enjoy swimming, kayaking, and boating right from your own backyard. A two-car garage, shed, and a Generac whole-home generator on natural gas keep everything running smoothly. Fiber optic is coming to the road, and Elk Rapids is just 15 minutes away for everything you need. This is the kind of place people hold onto for generations - and it's easy to see why.
