Property Watch: Village Life On The Bay

By Emily Tyra | May 28, 2020

The Leelanau Ticker found a spot on the sunrise side of the peninsula that allows for the best of both worlds: an in-village perch (110 S Bay Street Northport, $599,900 MLS #: 1874244) directly across from Northport’s beach and marina. Watch the boats come in and the world go by from the porch — perhaps with the Barb's Bakery donut you just strolled down the street to get. Shops, the post office, the bank, restaurants, and grocery are steps away. The backyard is set up for family time with an outdoor fireplace and a hangout for the dog. And, it would not be Northport without a little quirk: listing agent Jane Darling of CENTURY 21 Northland tells us the island counter is made from a piece of the basketball court at Penn State; the custom shelves are from the bleachers.
