Exceptional Au Sable River home with Cape Cod charm

One of the toughest things for us to find for riverfront buyers is a finely built, modern home that has a ton of character.  There are a bunch of modest cabins that need some work and a few original cottages with larger additions but few were designed and crafted as year round homes.  This is certainly one of those exceptional properties.




The owners are from The East Coast and brought that character with them when they designed this outstanding home.  Built by local craftsmen, the home features a very tough to find, wide-open floor plan with a beautiful island kitchen that opens to a spacious dining area and living space.  A covered front porch and soul-soothing screened deck provide additional living space that allows visitors to enjoy the outdoors regardless of weather.  A main floor bedroom is currently purposed as a sitting room but could certainly be used as the master bedroom for single level living.  Two additional bedrooms upstairs provide comfortable accommodations for friends and family.




The walk-out lower level has been completely finished to provide for a home theater area as well as an enormous craft or gaming space.  Big bright windows make it difficult to tell the space is partially below grade.  Unlike many other riverfront offerings, this home was done right from the Anderson windows to the fine carpentry at every turn.

Wander a short pathway through cool cedar forest to some of the finest dry fly water in The Eastern United States.  Prolific insect hatches provide for nearly constant surface feeding to numbers of well educated trout that can reach large proportions.  A large platform at riverside holds a spacious gazebo that is a perfect place for an evening scotch and cigar as you await the hatch...  All in all, this is a must see for anyone considering a full time residence along The Au Sable or an angler who simply doesn't want to sacrifice quality while spending weekends in northern Michigan.
