Property Watch: Rustic Cottage Near Sleeping Bear Dunes

New build is sometimes not all it's cracked up to be. After all, sometimes you just can't build charm.

Take this rustic, late fifties cottage on M-109 (Harbor Highway) just a half mile west of Glen Arbor. It's what one used to picture when conjuring up images of an "up north" escape. The three bedroom, one bathroom home needs a bit of care, but the "bones," as they say, are more than good. 

Updates include a newer roof, forced-air furnace and closed-in front porch. The bright interior offers plenty of options. Perhaps the best asset, however, is its location. Just a stones throw from Glen Arbor and the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore, the property also has a trail that leads to sandy beachfront.
