"A step back in time".....Properties like this are few and far between! This classic cottage on Little Glen Lakes south shore has incredible charm inside and out, with board and batton siding, flagstone patio and walkways, lush perennial gardens, cut stone chimney and fire place, wide Ponderosa pine paneling, built-in book cases and cabinetry, a lovely screened in porch, vintage fixtures, and so much more! The first owners originally built what was a bunk house/cabin in 1938, added a summer kitchen, porch, and bathroom, followed by a two story west addition in 1947, to accommodate 3 bedroom, two bathrooms, family room, all in keeping with the original architectural style. Having changed hands as "recently" as 1968, the estate of the second owners have decided to offer this unique property to it's third successor stewards. Might this be your legacy property? Three waterfront parcels that total just under 6 acres are included with 181' of frontage with views of the Sleeping Bear Dunes, the westerly vacant lot is 82.5' by 1000 deep, the cottage and garage occupy the middle and eastern portion. Exceptional vintage furnishings are included, as well the dock, hoist, and pontoon boat. With immediate possession granted at closing, bring some provisions, the family and settle in for the second half of the summer and begin to write your Little Glen story. We're giving everyone plenty of time to see this rare property with showings available until July 8 at 4 PM when offers will be reviewed and responded to within 24 to 48 hours.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
