Introducing a charming late-19th century dollhouse in the heart of Leland! The childhood home of famed local photographer, Erhardt Peters, this one of Leland’s most well-loved and truly vintage residences. Located on beautiful Grand Avenue and just over one block from lake access to north Lake Leelanau, this home is delightfully eclectic and evokes the feel of a relaxed Leland-lifestyle from a time gone by. Just shy of two platted lots, this corner parcel is comfortable and spacious. A generous side-yard to the north is a wonderful opportunity for a future building addition or a gardener’s paradise. The two existing structures (main house and large detached garage + studio) create a shaded private courtyard, perfect for quiet outdoor living on sleepy summer days. Inside, this residence is playful yet true to its classic Leland roots. Freshly renovated bathrooms and quirky interior finishes comingle with original features like plank wood flooring and a vintage wood-burning stove, giving this home an easy, up-north feel. The main floor boasts a generous open plan with kitchen, dining room, and main living area centered between two charming covered porches. A large main floor master bedroom overlooks the front porch and side yard while three small bedrooms and an unfinished attic are upstairs. Notable and recent home improvements include: furnace + AC unit with ductwork, partial plumbing system upgrade at time of bathroom + laundry renovation, underground electrical service to the house, and a new roof over the front porch. The detached garage and second floor studio have electrical service, and with improvements, could be converted into an additional living space. (Leland zoning allows for accessory dwellings where single family dwellings are a use by right; buyer to verify.) This sweet, historical home is everything you need to enjoy the best of the Leland lifestyle. A perfect little cottage just as it is, with excellent potential to be so much more!
