1/2 Mi to Lake! Traverse City Retreat w/ Dock

Tucked in a peaceful neighborhood, this well-appointed home grants you exclusive shared access to Silver Lake — just a half-mile stroll away. Spend your mornings fishing from the dock, enjoy a picnic lunch under the pines, or fire up the grill at the lake's edge while soaking in the serene setting.

STR-002460

Tucked in a peaceful neighborhood, this well-appointed home grants you exclusive shared access to Silver Lake—just a half-mile stroll away. Spend your mornings fishing from the small dock, enjoy a picnic lunch under the pines, or fire up the grill at the lake's edge while soaking in the serene setting. There’s even a small sandy beach perfect for sunbathing or skipping stones.

Back at the house, unwind in the fenced-in backyard with lovely natural views—ideal for morning coffee or watching the sunset from the back porch with a glass of local wine or whiskey in hand.

Inside, you’ll find fun for everyone with a pool table, board games, and a welcoming living space for relaxing after a day of exploring. The home also includes a Wet Bar and Entertainment Room — perfect for evenings in with friends or family. With two desks and fast internet, it’s also ideal for a work retreat or remote workers who want to stay productive while enjoying a peaceful change of scenery.

Whether you’re here to relax by the lake, sip wine on a vineyard tour, or explore the stunning natural beauty of the region, this cozy home is your perfect four-season base.
