owners have actively used their second home for a decade, their plans and lifestyle have changed, so they have decided to start a new phase of their life. This parcel hugs a cove locally known as Sawdust Bay that, like many locations around Door County and throughout Lake Michigan, once hosted a sawmill that provided wood to rebuild Chicago after its great fire in 1871. With over 700 feet of shore frontage along the cove and Lake Michigan, one can appreciate the waterfront setting year-round. Whether enjoying the water views, walking the property’s lighted paths, watching the wildlife, spawning fish, deer, and birds, such as eagles, herons, black-tipped white pelicans, great egrets, and several varieties of ducks, launching a kayak, canoe, or small sailboat to cruise the waters of North Bay and Lake Michigan, or just sitting outside reading a book, this peaceful setting could be yours.

historical charm You will be charmed by this historical Tudor nestled on a oneof-a-kind lot in the heart of Elm Grove. The serene, private back yard with mature trees and gorgeous pond with fountain offers the perfect respite to take away the day’s stress. This home is the original Gettleman Brewing Family Estate and back in the day, the gatherings included summer picnics, cold beer and guests swimming in the pond or skating in the winter time. Since then the pond has been filled in to its current thigh-high depth although skating is still a winter joy. An abundance of windows frame nature’s beauty in every season. This home offers three natural fireplaces and generous room sizes can be found throughout. The updated, chef-friendly kitchen offers glazed cabinetry, a large island, main and prep sinks, and gorgeous pond views. Upstairs you’ll find three charming bedrooms. The gracious master suite boasts a surprisingly large walk-in closet and the private master bath offers extra space for expansion. If you need additional room for family and friends, make use of the lower level complete with a full bath, family room and an office/studio or future bedroom. Surprisingly there is access to that fantastic yard as well from the lower level along with a generous storage area for yard tools and the like.
