A very rare opportunity to own a one of a kind property in all of Leelanau County. Take in stunning and unique panoramic views of Suttons Bay, the Village, Stony Point, West Bay, Old Mission Peninsula, and East Bay. Situated on a diverse and private 3.6 acres, just a couple of blocks from downtown Suttons Bay. This architectural gem was timelessly designed by famed local architect, Roger Hummel. He put an emphasis on impeccable craftsmanship and taking advantage of the peace and serenity of the property. The massive floor to ceiling windows maximize the gorgeous views of all four seasons from every window (w/ J. Geiger motorized shades). Located in a perfect location to take advantage of all that Leelanau County has to offer. Short walking distance to Suttons Bay beaches, shopping, coffee shops, restaurants, brewery, hiking, walking and bike trails on the TART trail. You are also only a 15 minute drive to Leland and Good Harbor Beach, and just 20 minutes to Traverse City and Northport. The home features multiple spaces and levels to enjoy the outdoors from inside and out. The view from every level is tremendous and wait until you see the vantage point from the crow's nest. The open concept floor plan gives you the opportunity for multiple furniture configurations and flexibility of living space and ultimate functionality. The bunk room is perfect for accommodating extra guests with a kitchenette area just outside for additional entertaining needs. The large laundry/mud room/office area is a great use of space and offers lots of storage and versatility. The fireplace is one of a kind and provides for a unique and inviting atmosphere year round. A spacious garage with workbench, wood stove, room for two vehicles and all your outdoor gear. The home has undergone many recent upgrades within the last 18 months, including new WiFi enabled Gree AC/heat units for fully customizable temps on each floor, new WiFi enabled Viessmann high efficiency boiler, and much more!
