Northern Michigan gets in your blood. With its miles of sugar sand beaches & acres of undisturbed forests encircled by the deep blue waters of the Great Lakes, life here is framed in ever changing beauty. I live in Manistee & I love it here. I spent my childhood in neighboring Benzie County. At eighteen, I moved downstate to Kalamazoo to attend college & ended up becoming a realtor there for 18 years, but the North Country always kept a hold on me. Then one weekend, I returned to this area to visit my parents & siblings. That was the weekend Dad said, “Margie, I want you to meet a very nice & interesting friend of mine.” I met him & Dad was right on all counts. To make a long story short, I moved to Manistee to re-establish my roots & married Alex Zaccanelli – that very nice & interesting man! We started our life together in a rambling turn-of-the-century Victorian house, always with one or two senior dogs that we chose to rescue.

There are many other lifestyles to be had – from urban chic to stylish suburban. But the small town, Northern Great Lakes lifestyle is gracious with unending charm. Days filled with walks on the beach or riverwalk; visits to the local farmers’ market or craft show; going to a movie at the Vogue, or going fishing when you get home from work. I do love to travel, but that only makes me realize how lucky I am to live here. That’s what I want to share with you! For a personalized real estate experience that combines extensive market knowledge, a love for Northern Michigan, & a commitment to satisfaction, look no further.
