This enchanting 6-bedroom home overlooks Round Lake, the sparkling blue jewel that links Lake Michigan to Lake Charlevoix and Downtown Charlevoix's celebrated port of call. Step inside this storybook home and discover a seamless flow of thoughtfully designed living areas, nooks and bedrooms that frame gorgeous lake views. Designed by Virginia Young Olsen, daughter of Charlevoix's famous architect, Earl Young, she transformed cedar shake, stucco and boulder into this remarkable work of architecture.

Walk or bike to Downtown Charlevoix to enjoy waterside dining, cafes, shopping, sandy Lake Michigan beaches, and the vibrant farmers market. Teach the young ones how to ski at Mt. McSauba and enjoy a front row seat to the Venetian Festival fireworks every summer. Take advantage of being minutes from the Charlevoix airport, and plan fun day trips to Traverse City, Petoskey and Harbor Springs. Imagine the memories you'll make at Thistle Downs Drive.

    "The Susan Shores Subdivision of Hayes Township in Charlevoix County is located in the Lower Peninsula of Northwestern Michigan. Housing construction in Susan Shores, which is on the Western Shore of Susan Lake, is mixed and generally consists of single family homes on small (1) acre lots. Susan Shores residents are generally couples with school aged children. Comparatively, homes on the Eastern Shore of Susan Lake along Mulberry Lane are generally larger, up to ten acre estates bordering conserved lands and are part of a private home owners association that includes a horse corral. However, there is no home owners association in Susan Shores. The closest major cross street intersection is (Scenic Route M31 along Lake Michigan), and (C56-Boyne City Road). The largest cities nearby (driving) are downtown Charlevoix (5 minutes), Bay Harbor (15 minutes), Petoskey (22 minutes), Boyne City (17 minutes), Harbor Springs (35 Minutes), and Mackinaw Island (1 hour). Pellston Regional Airport in Petoskey (30 minutes) provides charter flight services to and from Detroit and Chicago. This home is near to biking trails along Lake Michigan, snowmobile trails, winter downhill skiing Mt. McSauba, Boyne Mountain, Boyne Highlands, and Nubs Nob, golf, community pool, and great hunting and fishing. Susan Lake is a small, shallow, warm water, all sports lake (approx. 130 acres) with one public access point. Susan Lake, though comparatively small to other lakes in the area, is well known by the local residents to contain a healthy population of small mouth bass, crappies, and northern pike for the warm water sport fishing enthusiast, but is still a secret to outsiders. Susan Lake sees little boat traffic in the Summer (affording a slight measure of greater water safety for smaller children because of the lesser boat traffic). Many Susan Lake residents like to take their pontoon boats out to the middle of the lake to swim, and also swim off anchored rafts."
