Lakefront Escape

Situated perfectly on the shores of Lake Michigan, this 4,300 square foot home was designed to capture the stunning waterfront views. With an eye for details, coupled with fine craftsmanship and a coastal flair, this lakefront home is comfortable, functional and timeless.

The exterior reflects the coastal style showcasing a nautical blue with contrasting white trim. A matching oversized garage sits comfortably next to the home providing storage for the largest water toys.

Upon entering the home, the main floor captures the incredible lake views. The living room, sitting area, kitchen and dining room, all overlook the shimmering water with an abundance of oversized windows. The hickory hardwood floors and alder wood ceiling beams add a natural finish to the relaxed setting.

Complementing the outside view, the kitchen’s rich white cabinets and tall ceilings help keep the space feeling light, and the island made from the same alder on the ceiling detail, brings a cohesive feel to the open space. Off the kitchen, an effective use of space is featured with a butler pantry and extensive built-in cabinetry lining the hall.

The upper level boasts an expansive master suite that includes a bath with soaking tub and large tile shower, spacious dressing room, and a sitting area. A guest bedroom with sitting area and bath optimize the space for additional visitors.
The lower level features two additional bedrooms with built in vanities, perfect for freshening up after a day at the beach, and a lake bath with a built-in bench and laundry designed to tackle the beach sand and hang up towels. The comfortable furnishings, convenient kitchenette, custom wine closet, and access to the color stamped concrete patio with fire pit, is a picture perfect setting for entertaining.

No detail was left undone in this gorgeous lake home - the rich textures, custom woodwork and timeless style are evident around every corner.
