Trader Scott's - GORGEOUS LAKEFRONT HOME WITH PRIVATE DOCK AND BONFIRE RING!

Frankfort, Michigan, United States

Trader Scott's is a beautifully decorated home on the spectacular south shore of Crystal Lake! Outside, it features a huge dock, mooring buoy for boats, a family-friendly bonfire ring right on the private beach, a huge deck with a gorgeous lakeview, and lots of outdoor furniture for dining and relaxing. Inside, the home is gorgeous with lots of color, windows, and great natural lighting along with a huge kitchen, washer & dryer, and all amenities! brbrbrNEIGHBORHOOD:brbrThe house is along the luxurious south shore of Crystal Lake, which boasts many luxurious homes of over $1M in value. The neighborhood is primarily made up of vacation homes of professional families.brbrOutside of the immediate neighborhood, the home is just a few miles from downtown Frankfort, which has a charming collection of shops, restaurants, cafes, and a microbrewery (Stormcloud). Frankfort also has a fantastic public beach on Lake Michigan and a popular historic lighthouse. The Bright and Breezy is also less than a 30-minute drive from both the start of Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore (to the north) as well as Crystal Mountain Ski Resort (to the southeast).brbrThe house is also only about a 1-hour drive east to Traverse City. Traverse City is the business, arts, recreation, entertainment, dining, and shopping hub of all of Northern Michigan and it provides a vast variety of bigger city things to see and do.brbrbrGUEST ACCESS:brbrGuests have access to the entire house, except for the furnace room which is locked off for storage.brbrbrTHE SPACE:brbrIt is important to understand the layout of the house. The house is a bit of a treehouse in that the main shared living space in terms of the living room, dining room, and the kitchen ARE ALL LOCATED ON THE SECOND FLOOR. Thus, the home may not work well for everybody.brbrAnother important aspect of the layout is that the two downstairs bedrooms and the downstairs bathroom are somewhat separated from the rest of the house. This works great for providing teenagers, a second couple, or extra relatives with their own private space.brbrbrTRANSIT:brbrIt is recommended that guests have their own vehicle.brbrbrPLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING:brbrSouth Shore Drive runs between the house and the lake. This might be an issue for families with small children. (Note that the speed limit on South Shore Drive is only 25 MPH though and there is little traffic on the road since the road basically only services houses that are directly on the lake.)
