BIG GLEN LAKE - There’s something a bit magical about an A-frame, evoking memories of a childhood getaway in the woods or a summer spent on the lake. And this property is among the grandest examples. The home’s 3 stories and 2000 square feet of living space sit atop a full lower level, all with expansive views of Glen Lake through the floor to ceiling glazing. Built in 1970 by a scion of the Chris Smith family of the famed Chris-Craft Boats, the current owners acquired it in 1988 and have utilized it year-round since. While the home was designed with four bedrooms and three and a half baths, the current owners have enjoyed the flexible use of two bedrooms as a den and an office. The main level has a galley-style kitchen and generous dining/living room along with one bedroom and a full bathroom. Above that are two floors with bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, both levels featuring a landing that overlooks the living area below. Downstairs, the lower-level doubles as garage and bonus room or can serve as storage space for all the toys with an overhead door facing the lakeside, for easy coming and going, and even has a half bath. Outside the spacious elevated deck overlooks a broad sandy beach which spans the full 100’ of lake frontage, and with nearly six tenths of an acre, there’s room to expand should you ever need it. The property is part of Tamarack Cove, a quiet enclave of 15 homes tucked into the northeast corner of Big Glen. It offers southern exposure, on-shore breezes on the warmest days and a peaceful private road. Whether you are continuing the home’s legacy or using it as a starting point for a new chapter on these pristine shores, this property offers a special opportunity to anchor your own family’s history in Glen Lake magic.
