About 940 N W Silver Lake Rd

Welcome Home to your Northern Michigan Lake Retreat. Whether it's just weekends or full time living, you will never tire of the Million Dollar views down the sparkling blue waters of all-sport 600 acre Silver Lake. Deep and dotted with islands, the lake is clean and the fishing is great. Your new home overlooks the best walleye hole on the lake! This updated cozy cottage will please your senses and relax your soul! As you walk out onto the lakeside private deck under the blue and white striped electric awning, you will have that up north feeling but actually you are just minutes from great restaurants and shopping. Walk down the steps to the 74 feet of sandy beach and relax on the shoreline deck flanked by a sand pit for play or dip your feet in the water off the Tri-Met dock. Listen for the loons, meet the ducks and swans as they swim by the dock. Time stands still and worries subside. This home is well maintained, maintenance free and move-in ready. Vinyl siding, metal roof and LVP flooring keep it simple. Updates include a Kinetico water system with pure R/O water for drinking, three ductless A/C units for zoned cooling, new picture windows framing the lake and Wolf composite decks and stairs. When family and friends visit there is ample parking for 7 vehicles. An open floor plan centers on the original granite fireplace and knotty pine kitchen cabinets reflect this cottage's past. It is rare for a Traverse City lake home to come to market and now you can make your own lifetime memories at Silver Lake!
