Harbor Springs - MLS# 478399
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.
