If ever there were a dream setting for a home, this is it. And the design and layout of this energy-efficient, Craftsman-style walkout, perched on a high ridge just south of Leland, take full advantage of the stunning views that unfold from nearly every room. Lake Michigan’s Good Harbor Bay, the Manitou Islands, and endless treetops spread out almost 180 degrees, changing their mood with the weather patterns and seasons. But the views are just the beginning of the charm of this exceptional home. BAC Design Group’s senior designer, Marty Rhein and Ken Williams of Design Classics collaborated to design a one-of-a-kind contemporary residence. Quality materials and classic architectural details, and beautiful interior design lend it a very special look and feel.

The home’s impeccable custom trim carpentry includes inset cabinetry and shelving in the kitchen and large pantry (with secret access door), as well as a built-in entertainment center next to the grand fireplace in the great room. It is also evident in the whitewashed board-and-batten wainscoting in the entryway, hallways and, unexpectedly, on the upper walls of the great room, which are topped by a 14-foot V-groove ceiling beautifully accented with contrasting dark-finished rough-hewn cedar beams. Gorgeous Manchurian rustic walnut floors throughout the main floor add to the pattern of light and dark tones, as does a built-in hutch in the open kitchen, where granite countertops grace the large island and the other abundant work surfaces. A bright four-season room just off the kitchen provides access to the large deck that flows to a future garden area and patio with fire pit. The master bedroom boasts a luxury ensuite bathroom and a huge walk-in closet.

An equally roomy, bright and open lower level features 2 more bedrooms, a full bath with board-and-batten wainscoting and adjacent sauna, and extensive maple cabinetry lining the walls of the large office/craft room that was custom designed to house a large weaving loom. A spacious patio under the deck offers another outdoor gathering place with expansive views.
