The sandy frontage welcomes swimming, splashing and laughter and can easily accommodate a dock and boat for evening cruises and mornings of trout fishing. The large lawn begs for games of catch, bocce ball and waterfront gatherings. Enjoy the East Bay sunrise with your coffee on the expansive composite deck. The updated kitchen features a large island, two pantries, casual eating space and loads of natural light flooding in from the great room. The open concept living room/dining room is great for entertaining and offers flexibility for those large holiday gatherings. The cathedral ceiling creates more space to enjoy the natural light and sweeping views of East Bay. Wake up to open water views snuggled in bed in the main floor Primary Suite. The second bathroom has been beautifully updated to welcome guests or family. There is room to spread out in the lower level family room and when you are not playing in the great Northern MI outdoors, you can work from home in the lower level office. Your guests may need a nudge to leave if you house them in the enormous 4th bedroom with water views and leave them to enjoy the jetted tub in the 3rd full bath. This home has been meticulously maintained and loved by the same family for 40 years, it is time for a new legacy to begin. Don¢â‚¬â„¢t miss your opportunity to start your family memories on Bluff Road.
