NEIGHBORHOOD: The home is in a incredible location for exploring the northwest corner of Michigan's Lower Peninsula! It is located at the end of beautiful Nipissing Street on the Lake Michigan bluff overlooking Frankfort Beach and Lake Michigan. It is a very high-end and safe neighborhood. There is a public walking path that goes down the bluff from the end of Nipissing Street to Frankfort Beach and Lake Michigan. (The path is somewhat steep and rugged and does not have much in the way of handrails. As such, it may be difficult for elderly individuals or young children.) The Frankfort Pier and the famous Frankfort Lighthouse are also just a short walk south along the beach from the house. Note that the north end of Frankfort Beach (including the point where the path enters the beach) is dog-friendly. The south end of the beach (near the pier and lighthouse) is not dog-friendly. It's possible to have a great walk along the beach with your dog though if you walk down to the beach and then head north. The home is just a few blocks from charming downtown Frankfort. Downtown Frankfort has a growing array of shops, restaurants, cafes, a microbrewery (Stormcloud), and a vintage movie theatre (The Garden Theater). All of this is just a short walk from the house! The home is also conveniently located close to Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore and Crystal Lake. These provide for a wide mix of hiking, exploring, kayaking, tubing, fishing, and paddleboarding activities in the midst of a truly gorgeous natural environment. The home is also only 18.2 miles (about a 25-minute drive) from Crystal Mountain Resort for skiing, snowboarding, and winter sports. Also, if larger-city things are desired such as lots of restaurants, great shopping, and lots of entertainment and nightlife options, the home is only an approx. 1-hour drive from downtown Traverse City, which has a wonderful collection of dining, shopping, and entertainment options.
