For buyers ready to craft their own work-life balance in a Leelanau beach town, Ranae Ihme with LVR Realty, LLC says that this residential/commercial property in downtown Glen Arbor (5710 Pine Street, Glen Arbor, $795,000) is it.

The 3-bedroom, 2.5 bath home is in the heart of the village: next door to the Glen Arbor Art Association, a quick walk to Cherry Republic and Leelanau Coffee Roasters and a block to Sleeping Bear Bay. And it's a place for the entrepreneurial spirit to thrive: An exercise studio? Art gallery? Rental property?

Working from home means a sunny office with doors leading to a multi-tiered deck. The commercial space — accessible from both inside and outside — is in the lower level and has its own living area, kitchen, half bath, and storage space. A few more bonus points: the home’s solar panels, outdoor shower, and the fact that it’s being sold furnished. Ihme adds that the lot adjacent to the property can also be purchased. The property was just listed over the weekend, so those whose imaginations are running wild should act quickly in this lightning-fast market.
