Set on 1.47 acres with 162 feet of private Silver Lake frontage, this Traverse City lake home delivers that rare combo of a true waterfront setting and an easy hop into downtown TC for dinner, shopping, and year-round fun. The large lakefront lawn is the kind of space you actually use, perfect for summer games, big gatherings, and evening bonfires by the water. Silver Lake locals are proud of their little piece of paradise. It is a beautiful 600-acre lake known for wildlife, gorgeous sunsets, and clear, inviting water, with an active preservation association that helps keep it that way. You will also love the way the shoreline breaks up into islands, coves, and inlets, offering plenty to explore for fishing, paddling, and relaxed cruising. Inside, the layout is built for everyday comfort and easy hosting, anchored by an award-winning kitchen recognized as the 2023 Parade of Homes Best Kitchen, plus engineered white oak floors and a bright, open main level that keeps the lake in view. The primary suite and laundry are on the main floor, and the finished walkout lower level adds extra bedrooms and a large living area for guests or game days. When you want the home to work with you, it does. Control4 allows you to adjust lighting, audio, TVs, and more from an easy-to-use app—whether you're home or away. With whole-home audio and a theater setup, everything feels seamless and dialed in without ever feeling complicated. This is the kind of home that makes weekdays feel like weekends. Take your boat out after work, catch sunset from the deck, then be downtown in minutes for a late dinner or a quick stroll through your favorite spots. It is waterfront living with Traverse City right there when you want it.
