Set on more than eight private acres in the gated community of Traverse Trace, this New England-style family home offers an unmatched blend of character, comfort, and sweeping Little Traverse Bay views. Just north of Harbor Springs, the property provides a rare combination of privacy, natural beauty, tennis and beach access. A grand entryway ushers you into a light-filled interior featuring hardwood floors, classic architectural details, and generous living spaces. With seven bedrooms and seven bathrooms-including a spacious bunkroom and a private in-law suite-the home is perfectly suited for large families, hosting guests, or multi-generational living. Multiple gathering areas enhance everyday living: two wood-burning fireplaces create warmth and ambiance, a dedicated family room invites relaxation, an art room encourages creativity, and a private library offers quiet retreat. A unique standout feature is the custom firepole connecting the second floor directly to the garage-an unforgettable touch that adds both functionality and fun. Outdoor living is equally inviting, highlighted by a large porch designed for enjoying bay breezes, morning coffee, and panoramic water views. A 4-plus-car garage and wooded acreage complete this exceptional offering. Timeless New England charm meets modern livability in this one-of-a-kind Harbor Springs retreat.
