10 Island View Drive Traverse City MI 49696 MLS #26019676

LAKEFRONT RETREAT! Hidden among mature trees and set along 200 feet of pristine, sandy shoreline, this Island Lake sanctuary captures the essence of peaceful up north living. Crystal clear waters stretch out before you, inviting endless days of boating, swimming, and quiet reflection, while fresh northern air and the gentle rustle of leaves create a setting that feels worlds away from the everyday. Designed to bring the outdoors in, the home features an open layout with soaring walls of windows that frame breathtaking lake views from nearly every angle. Natural light pours through the space, creating a warm, airy atmosphere that perfectly complements the surrounding landscape. Multiple outdoor living areas provide the ideal backdrop for morning coffee by the water, sunset gatherings, and starlit evenings immersed in nature. Thoughtful updates enhance both comfort and peace of mind, including new luxury vinyl plank flooring throughout the main and lower levels, a newly finished lower level with drywall and added recessed lighting, and fresh interior paint throughout. The home is equipped with two new instant water heaters and a new washer and dryer for added convenience. Two of the four bathrooms have been beautifully updated with tile and custom glass shower enclosures, adding a refined touch to the home’s design. Outdoor improvements further elevate the experience, with a fully restored and restained deck, improved walkways with added gravel and secured steps, and inviting gathering spaces including a hot tub and firepit area perfect for relaxing under the stars. The septic system was pumped in January 2025, offering additional reassurance. Bordering State Land and just minutes from the charm of downtown Traverse City, this property offers the rare balance of seclusion and convenience. Whether it’s summer days on the lake, vibrant fall colors, winter snow-covered trails, or the renewal of spring, every season here is an experience in pure northern beauty.
