This stunning European-inspired, 3-bed, 5-bath property has a long and interesting artist history. Ruth Conklin, accomplished artist/gallery owner in Glen Arbor, was the first to own the home and commissioned the architect to build a gallery, studio, and workshop. Second owner, Susan Brightheart, is an artist known for her ceramics, drawings, and paintings. The current owner has made significant improvements over the last decade while preserving its original charm. Located in the serene valley of Suttons Bay on 4 acres, you are secluded, yet just minutes to TC and Suttons Bay. The energy-efficient home significantly reduces winter utility costs.
