Wings of Light is a tranquil haven where country living meets modern design. Located on the west edge of Traverse City, this multi-level home and studio is a true oasis of light and calm, positioned on three acres in Leelanau County. With the regional trail system just outside your door, you can effortlessly bike into the city or all the way to Suttons Bay—all while being just minutes from the vibrant bustle of Traverse City. Inspired by an architectural design concept of patterns and light, the home is arranged in wings maximizing the use of natural light and arranged in an “L” shape to form a courtyard and terraced gardens connecting the buildings in a harmonious way. Six distinct living spaces, each on its own half-level, amplifies the home’s artistic style. The layout flows seamlessly without doors—other than in the bathrooms—creating an open yet functional floor plan. The design provides a clear separation of public and private areas. As you move up through the levels, the spaces become more intimate, with the two bedrooms and their full bathrooms located on the top level for maximum privacy. The lowest two levels, currently used as an office and a media space, can be repurposed to meet your specific needs. This clever arrangement ensures there's plenty of room for both gathering and quiet retreat. Even the stairs serve as functional living spaces, perfect for sitting, playing, or contemplating. An adjacent 496 SF heated studio with high ceilings, sits above a one-car garage, offering a private space for an artist, writer, or musician (Studio SF not included in the home SF). Property can be split.
