Property Description
Tucked into the woods along the shores of Chandler Lake, this exceptional 4,300 sq. ft. lake home offers the space to gather everyone together - and 150 feet of private waterfront to enjoy it all. Set on 1.24 acres, the home feels incredibly private, yet is less than 15 minutes from downtown Traverse City. Inside, soaring ceilings, abundant windows and warm architectural details create a relaxed Up North feel. The beautifully renovated kitchen features custom, handmade cabinetry, a farmhouse sink, generous gathering space and exposed wood beams, while multiple fireplaces add warmth and character throughout the home. With expansive living areas and accommodations for up to 16, there is plenty of room for family and guests without sacrificing comfortable everyday living. The spacious family room with built-ins and a fieldstone fireplace provides an inviting place to gather and unwind. An oversized heated two-car garage offers excellent storage for vehicles and lake toys, while a whole-house generator provides added peace of mind year-round. Outside, mature hardwoods surround the home and create a peaceful backdrop as you make your way to the water. At the shoreline, a private, permanent dock opens to beautiful views across Chandler Lake - perfect for boating, swimming, fishing or simply spending a summer afternoon by the water. Chandler Lake is a spring-fed, all-sports lake tucked just outside Traverse City, offering the increasingly rare combination of privacy, recreation and convenience. Whether enjoyed as a year-round residence or an Up North retreat, this is the kind of lake house designed for long weekends, full houses and generations of memories.
