🏡 🏠 New Listing on Torch Lake! Life on Torch Lake is about more than owning a home on the water. It’s about the mornings, the boat rides, the sunsets, and the memories that happen in between.

📬Located in Alden, Michigan, this inviting Torch Lake home offers over 100 feet of frontage and a setting designed for true Northern Michigan lake living. Start the day with coffee overlooking the water, spend the afternoon enjoying the lake, then relax in the hot tub on the deck as evening settles in.

The location adds even more to the lifestyle. Take an easy boat ride into Alden for 🍦 ice cream, or cruise over to Dockside for lunch or dinner 🍽️ . Whether you’re entertaining guests, hosting family weekends, or simply looking for a peaceful retreat, this home makes lake life feel effortless.

Built in 1995 around the original 75-year-old fireplace from the family cabin, the home carries a sense of history and warmth that newer lake homes often lack. Inside, you’ll find 4 bedrooms, 2 baths, approximately 2,000 sq. ft. of living space, an open family room with vaulted ceilings, granite countertops, warm wood finishes, and lake views from the primary bedroom.

This is Torch Lake living with character, comfort, and a front-row seat to one of Northern Michigan’s most beautiful lakes.
