Property Description
North Lake living at its finest. Designer-owned and featured on HGTV, this 2,400-square-foot cottage is the kind of property that comes along once in a generation: thoughtfully composed, impeccably appointed, and perfectly positioned to capture the magic of lake living. The home unfolds with a quiet sense of drama. A winding path and steps lead through perennial gardens, to a charming entry. At the heart of the home is a gathering space. A generous center island anchors the room, surrounded by custom cabinetry, designer finishes, and warm, layered detail. The dining area is sized to host a holiday table or a relaxed dinner party with ease. The kitchen flows openly into a comfortable living area with a fireplace, flanked by bookshelves.

The 3 bedroom 3 bath, 2,400-square-foot floor plan is as functional as it is beautiful. The walkout lower level offers exceptional flexibility. Ideal as a media or sitting room, a home office, a hobby space, or comfortable accommodations for visiting guests -- it is anchored by its own cozy fireplace. Directly outside the lower level are multiple outdoor living areas, including a dedicated gas firepit zone perfect for unwinding after a day on the water, hosting friends late into the evening.
Step out onto the expansive deck and the lake takes center stage. Mornings here begin with coffee in hand as the early fishing boats drift across glass-still water in search of largemouth bass, bluegill, and perch. Trumpeter swans glide past in pairs, their reflections doubled on the surface. Sandhill cranes call from the wetlands. The rhythm of the lake becomes part of the rhythm of your day. The view is a living canvas -- culminating each evening in vivid sunsets that reflect across the surface in layers of amber, rose, and gold.
The home is designed for full, year-round lake life. Summer days unfold from your private dock -- swimming, waterskiing, paddleboarding, water volleyball, and tubing -- with happy hour aboard the pontoon as the sun lowers, and stars appear in the wide Michigan sky. Autumn brings vivid color across the surrounding shoreline and the gentle hush of cooler mornings. Winter transforms the lake into a private playground for ice skating, pickup hockey, and ice fishing, while the renowned Potawatomi Trail nearby offers some of the region's finest cross-country skiing and hiking. When the weather turns inward, evenings by the fireplace with a book are equally rewarding.
This exceptional retreat offers 50 feet of private frontage on North Lake -- a 227-acre treasure with crystalline water and depths reaching 55 feet. North Lake is widely regarded as one of the cleanest, clearest, and most desirable lakes in the region, prized for its spring-fed water quality, low-density shoreline, and full all-sports designation. The surrounding area offers a rare blend of natural beauty and accessibility, with the Pinckney Recreation Area, charming nearby villages, and easy proximity to Ann Arbor's restaurants, culture, and university amenities.
Whether you are drawn to the serenity of nature, the energy of all-sports recreation, or the simple pleasure of watching the seasons change across the water, this property offers the rarest of combinations: a turnkey, designer-finished home on a legacy lake, with every detail considered and every view earned. Properties of this caliber, on water of this quality, with frontage of this provenance, do not come to market often.
