Property Description
This stunning European-inspired, 3-bed, 5-bath property has a long and interesting artist history. Ruth Conklin, accomplished artist/gallery owner in Glen Arbor, was the first to own the home and commissioned the architect to build a gallery, studio, and workshop. Second owner, Susan Brightheart, is an artist known for her ceramics, drawings, and paintings. The current owner has made significant improvements over the last decade while preserving its original charm. Located in the serene valley of Suttons Bay on 4 acres, you are secluded, yet just minutes to TC and Suttons Bay. The energy-efficient home significantly reduces winter utility costs. The eat-in kitchen boasts a beautiful gas range, refrigerator, dishwasher, and microwave imported from Italy. The kitchen flows into the dining room with hand-milled 3/4†white oak floors. You’ll love the built-in bookcases and wood stove in the living room, along with the cozy office and family room. On the upper level, you’ll find a primary suite with a dressing area, updated ensuite bath, radiant floor heat in bath and bedroom, and a private deck. The second spacious bedroom has a separate full bath with a spa tub and features a private balcony that leads to a bonus room over the garage. An attached two-car garage connects to a mudroom, laundry, and half bath. Step outside to discover a landscaped yard with irrigation, gardens, wild raspberries, strawberries, grapes, fruit trees, morels, and more! The new observation deck features a saltwater plunge pool with valley views, all framed by majestic pines. The detached gallery, has been converted into a charming rental with vaulted ceilings and barnwood finishes. It boasts a bedroom, full bath, kitchenette, and living room. There’s also an attached workshop with a half bath, storage shed, and parking for a boat or RV, with septic and electrical hookups. Minutes to world-class eateries, beaches, wineries, hiking, and biking. All offers to be submitted by 5 pm 8-1-2025.
