Set above 150 feet of private Lake Michigan frontage, this Northport home captures expansive views of the Fox and Manitou Islands, passing freighters in the Manitou Passage, and spectacular sunsets. Situated on 1.43 acres with a broad, level lawn and mature trees, the property offers an elevated waterfront setting where the changing lake, open skies, and occasional Northern Lights become part of the ownership experience. The 3-bedroom, 2-bath home offers approximately 2,650 finished square feet with warm, traditional character and distinctive architectural details. Dramatic beamed ceilings create a grand entrance, while the living spaces were thoughtfully designed around the Lake Michigan views. A defining feature is the second-story Captain's Room, offering an elevated perspective across the water. The main-floor sunroom provides another inviting place to enjoy the scenery, while an outdoor deck and seating area extend the living experience toward the lake. The main-floor primary bedroom adds everyday convenience, with two additional bedrooms upstairs. Well maintained with opportunities for future modernization, the home functions equally well as a year-round residence or seasonal retreat. Practical features include an operational geothermal heating and cooling system, recently serviced, and an automatic whole-house standby generator. An attached two-car garage and separate 33' x 28'11" over-sized three-car detached garage provide parking for at least five vehicles, with substantial additional storage for recreational equipment. The property offers private bluff-top waterfront ownership focused on elevated views and outdoor enjoyment. There is no existing staircase to the shoreline, but nearby Peterson Park provides public stair access to Lake Michigan. Additional features include approximately 1,000 square feet of unfinished basement space, private well and septic, and convenient access to Northport and the surrounding Leelanau Peninsula.
