Nicely landscaped lot with mature trees and 100’ of direct water frontage on East Grand Traverse Bay. Each day begins with sunrise water views from the kitchen, dining, living, and three bedrooms. Gentle stairway to the lake has landing with bench seat midway down for secluded view of the beach and bay.
