Come home to "Narrow Escape" an estate-sized retreat nestled on the shores of S Lake Leelanau, complete with your own private bird sanctuary. Take in stunning lake views from nearly every room--including the living/dining/kitchen areas and all four of the en suite bedrooms. Step through the foyer into a soaring living room featuring a vaulted ceiling, dramatic windows and a floor to ceiling 18' limestone chimney with a cozy gas fireplace, Le Frame television and "Bullwinkle", a playful brass moose keeping an eye on all of the fun.. The adjoining dining area opens with double french doors to the screened porch, seamlessly blending indoor and outdoor living. Alternatively step out onto the adjacent open-air deck, equipped with a natural gas grill and umbrella topped table--perfect for alfresco dining overlooking the back yard, bird sanctuary and Lake Leelanau. Next to the dining area the kitchen is outfitted with premium GE Cafe appliances, complemented by elegant soft grey cabinetry and striking granite counter tops. A raised counter provides subtle separation from the living room, concealing the work surface while maintaining an open feel and providing casual seating for four. The back splash showcases a medley of soft-toned greige tiles, adding warmth and character to the space. Just beyond the kitchen is a well-appointed butler’s pantry, featuring a multi-purpose microwave, matching cabinets and granite countertops, open shelving, and a beverage cooler--perfect for storing wines and your favorite drinks. Directly across from the pantry is a compact powder room with whimsical wallpaper, while just beyond is the mudroom with an adjacent laundry area, offering both function and convenience. The main-floor primary suite is a peaceful haven with its own fireplace, Le Frame television, and private deck. The spacious en suite bath features dual vanities, a private water closet, and a stunning wet area with large-format porcelain tile.
