This classic cinder-block home offers the feel of a cozy Up North cottage with the practicality of year-round living. Tucked on a wooded lot with Duck Lake access, it’s just minutes from Interlochen Arts Academy—making it an ideal retreat for visiting parents, a low-maintenance getaway, or a smart investment with proven rental history. Updated and well cared for through the years, the home is turn-key and ready to enjoy. Its efficient layout is thoughtfully designed and lives larger than expected, creating a comfortable space to relax after time on the lake, exploring nearby trails, or attending performances at the Academy. Step outside to a private wooded setting with water access just down the road for boating, swimming, or evenings by the shoreline. With its blend of cottage character, modern updates, and year-round usability, this property offers a unique opportunity—whether as a personal hideaway, second home, or income-producing rental.
