Such a phenomenal location! 7950 S Shorebird is a wonderful way to be immersed in the heart of the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore. Located across from Little Glen lake on a .78 acre lot, there are peek-a-boo views of the lake's turquoise water from the front yard and porch of the home, and the Heritage Trail, ideal for walking, biking, and cross country skiing, is directly across from the home, as well, making for a quick journey to the Dune Climb, or a bike ride in to Glen Haven Beach, Glen Arbor or Empire. Imagine quiet nights around a bonfire, jaunts in to one of the area's charming, small towns for dinners out, ice cream, art galleries, or live music, sunsets from the dunes, and the myriad of hiking trails and water access nearby. This Dutch Colonial/Farmhouse style home, with over 2,200 square feet, has so much potential to become exactly what you're seeking! Inside, there are two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a very large loft (being used as a third bedroom), pine planked ceilings, a spacious kitchen and dining area, living room with vaulted ceilings, storage spaces, a laundry/mud room off the entry, and a charming porch with glimpses of Little Glen Lake. Outside, the two car garage is also oversized, with an unfinished living space above (19'x40'). Past the garage is a large, sunlit area, which would be fantastic used as a garden, as well as a 30x40 pole barn, perfect for storing a boat! Bring your vision for what could become a dream property!
