## Description

### Agent Description
Step onto one of South Lake Leelanau's most coveted stretches of shoreline featuring 100' of private direct sandy bottom frontage and spectacular western facing sunsets over the lake! Sold fully furnished, this 3-bedroom, 3-bath cottage (with a non-conforming 4th bedroom) offers approximately 1,800 sq feet of comfortable one-level living, The open living room/kitchen showcases lake views and features a charming wood burning fireplace. Additional features include a spacious waterside primary suite, main floor laundry room, an attached 2.5+ car garage, 2-car carport, and a large unfinished basement providing plenty of storage space. Situated on low-traffic S Lakeview Road, the property is just 10-15 minutes from Downtown Traverse City in Elmwood Township, where short-term rentals are permitted with township permit, making this an attractive option for your personal use or as an investment property. Soak up summer on the waterside deck perfect for entertaining, relaxing, and creating unforgettable lakeside memories. The naturally preserved shoreline has been recognized by the Lake Association as a model example of healthy, natural lakefront stewardship and is featured on educational shoreline tours. Don't miss this exceptional opportunity on Lake Leelanau!
