417 Bluff Drive - Harbor Springs, Michigan
   

High on top of Bluff Drive in beautiful Harbor Springs Michigan sits a new home with one of the most picturesque views in the state. Looking out over the Harbor, Little Traverse Bay and Lake Michigan beyond, you'll be swept away by the beautiful summer sunsets, holiday fireworks and even a winter sunrise over the dunes of Petoskey State Park. A short walk to town puts everything in this historic vacation town at your fingertips, without the noise and congestion of being on Main Street in the busy summer months.
