Traverse City Interlochen Beautiful Duck Lake Frontage Home
Beautiful, peaceful custom built 100 ft lakefront home on Duck Lake. Home is close to Interlochen Arts Academy and grocery store. A 30 minute drive will take you to Traverse City, Sleeping Bear Sand dunes, Crystal Lake, Frankfort, and many golf courses. Or do a wine tour on Old Mission Peninsula. At the end of the day just sit back and enjoy the sunsets from the deck, sunroom, or inside the house.
This lovely lake house was perfect for our needs.It was within thirty minutes of every place we wanted to go.The sunroom is a very peaceful place for your first cup of coffee in the morning.The owners were great about communication.Other than my thirteen month old grandson developing croup at the very end, it was perfect.Even buying groceries was so easy. We placed our order online and Tomâs Grocery brought our order to the car.
We loved staying at the lake. The owners were excellent and left us a snack which was awesome. They were up front that home was a work in progress, and it didnât matter really because we didnât spend much time in the home and went on several adventures on the days we were up there. It was a beautiful area and being lake front made it that much better.
I thought Serendipity was a good name for this home as back in 1970 on our second date we came up to Torch Lake where Rex's parents were building a home. I fell in love with him and the area but unfortunately our timing was off and 18 months later we broke up. Fast forward to 2001 when I am living out in Phoenix, AZ and we are both single again. This time our timing wasn't off and we got married.
Rex had an office building in Traverse City and for numerous reasons decided to sell it in May 2022. He had 45 (or 60) days to turn around the money or pay capital gains but couldn't find an office building to fit their needs. About 10 days before the time was up this home came on the market. We looked at it the first day and fell in love with it and made an offer right then. It needs to be rented for 2 years before we can move in to it and live out our senior years there. We immediately felt how peaceful and comfortable this property is. We hope you do too!
This home is back from the road which is nice. I think when we walked through the front door and saw all the windows looking out to the lake made a huge impression on us. The house has a pretty open floor plan with high ceilings. A large kitchen with seating at the peninsula counter. A good size Master bedroom with bath. But I think the sunroom or porch is what was we really liked. Rex would like that to be his office. We spent time out there furnishing it and got to know the neighbors who are all wonderful. It's just a very peaceful calming place. Also, gets a great breeze off the lake -- perfect for sleeping with windows open!
