What's special
"The total is greater than the sum of its parts" - never has that been more true than in this One-of-a-Kind Log Cabin Lake House. The home is a tribute to the beauty found throughout Michigan with its stunning courses of red pine timbers sourced from the U.P., to its dryfit-assembly in Gladwin MI, and its final construction perched atop a hill overlooking Clarkston's Lake Wau-Me-Gah. Created from the most unique & exquisite materials, local artisans' touches are throughout the home. Pewabic tiles, rod iron staircase railings commissioned by a Clarkston artist, decorative lighting fixtures, the list goes on... Even the interior doors are truly one-of-a-kind, saved from a Detroit elementary school & beautifully restored. The home harmoniously combines iconic grand log cabin features like the soaring great room with its stone fireplace, open timber staircase, and expansive screened in porch; with a warm and intimate feel not often associated with log cabin construction. Built in 2012 with all the modern conveniences; including as a mud-room off the attached garage, 2nd floor laundry, radiant heated floors on every level, a full walkout basement with a full bath, premium Anderson windows & doors, etc. Considerable thought was put into every part of the homes layout. The primary bedroom has stunning western views of the lake for quiet mornings and evening sunsets spent on its private balcony. 2 additional upstairs bedrooms are generously sized, each having lofts as a fun private retreat for kids large enough for a queen bed and accessed by old library ladders. On the first floor, there is space for a home office or separate in-laws suite with its attached accessible full bath. And on private all-sports Lake Wau-Me-Gah just 3 miles from charming downtown Clarkston and I-75, this home is both perfect as a primary residence or for those seeking a vacation home evoking the feeling of being upnorth without the drive & traffic. Rarely can you have it all without sacrifice, here you can. Live a Vacation Lifestyle every day!
