Michigan, Leelanau County, Leland, USA

Fabulous, vintage, and in the heart of walkable Leland! Affectionately named Pearl Haven, this delightful village residence has the charm of an early Leland homestead, plus many contemporary updates. Tucked into the hillside and hidden beneath the branches of mature maple trees, this home is a private oasis near to Leland School and the excitement of downtown. Step through the front gate and into the shade! Here you'll find a beautiful screened-in porch with mahogany decking, bead-board ceiling, and a front porch swing ‹“ a lovely place to escape the summer heat. Inside, the main living area is a generous open plan. The living room and dining room flow together through French doors to a secluded patio and a low-maintenance backyard. A private den with beautiful built-in shelves is located off the main living space and is a quiet hideaway for reading or working (when you must). No need for a den≠ Transform this room into an easy, main floor guestroom. The kitchen is cozy, yet luxurious enough to include a mini butler's pantry and space for quick meals. The main floor primary bedroom is a beautiful place to unwind ‹“ lofted ceilings elevate this room, while a custom stained-glass window, built in desk area, and walk-in closet with laundry add both character and functionality to the space. When guests and family come to visit, send the kids upstairs! The second level is made for sleepovers, euchre tournaments, and movie nights! Here, two bedrooms anchor opposite ends of the floorplan and are connected by a large, carpeted family room. Dormers add light and air to this space, while built-in bookshelves make for a pleasant reading area on rainy days. A second laundry room and full bathroom with claw-foot tub round out this fabulous upstairs. In all, this vintage gem is pure Leland inside and out. Spend your summers here, welcome short term rental guests, or bring your family and live in Leland full-time. Enjoy the best of village life, whatever you choose!
