6680 E Alpers Road

Private sanctuary provides the best of both worlds - water and woods. The 1.85-acre corner parcel set along a private road and CR 641 includes an expansive 225 ft of frontage on North Lake Leelanau. The classic two-story Arts and Crafts house has a story-book presence with a covered porch, shed dormer, brick chimney and cedar shake siding. Inside you'll enjoy the advantage of large west-facing windows that provide a flood of natural light through the filter of its wooded setting, as well as views of dramatic evening sunsets. Wood flooring adorns the entire main living area that includes a spacious living room with wood fireplace, large dining area and updated kitchen with a butcher block workstation. The house has a full bathroom on the main level, 3 bedrooms upstairs plus an office/loft, a shared bathroom with private shower and toilet, and an additional large room ideal for a sleeper sofa. The substantial entry room is lined with closets and cabinets providing storage uncommon in vintage lake houses. A walking path of pavers leads to a detached garage with an upstairs en suite studio/4th bedroom with built-in shelving, sink, mini fridge, and private shower and toilet. This ample 625 sq. ft. space could easily convert to a bunk room for up to 6 people. Just a short walk across the street and through a stand of privacy trees lies your waterfront oasis with a deck, lakeside sauna and outdoor stone dining table. Dont miss this opportunity for a private lakeside retreat.
