Property Description

Private Grand Traverse Bay frontage with sandy beach, sandy bottom, and walk-in swimming is the defining feature of this Northport waterfront cottage. Set on approximately 0.5 acres across two Cherry Home Shores lots, the property includes 120 feet of private deeded frontage and big-water views from a bay setting. An existing grandfathered boat house provides covered storage for kayaks, paddleboards, small sailboats, and other watercraft that can be pulled up from the beach. The move-in-ready 4-bedroom, 4-bath home offers approximately 2,400 finished square feet with all bedrooms on the main level. The kitchen, dining area, great room, and sunken living room all face the bay, keeping the water central to the main living spaces. Warm wood ceilings, exposed beams, brick detail, and a gas see-through fireplace give the home an upscale cottage feel without losing its relaxed lakefront character. Multi-level water-facing decking extends the living space outdoors, and an outdoor shower adds beach-day convenience. The walkout lower level provides utility/storage space and an additional bath, making it easy to come in from the sand and water without carrying the beach through the main living areas. Detached 2+ car garage, boiler heat, private well/septic, and seasonal or year-round use potential. Cherry Home Shores residents also enjoy shared beaches, parks, trails, and clubhouse amenities, with annual dues of $150. Short-term rentals are restricted, helping preserve the quiet residential and seasonal-home character of the community. Minutes from downtown Northport, the marina, parks, dining, golf, wineries, Leelanau State Park, and Grand Traverse Lighthouse.
