Inside Our Favorite Spots
Stepping into this 1920-built estate, the architecture, craftsmanship, and sweeping views immediately grab your attention. But a few standout spaces inside take it to another level, deserving a closer look.
Dining Room
The dining room is probably the most visually fascinating room, set under a double-height ceiling and a wrought iron chandelier that opens to a stunning view of the lake through floor-to-ceiling windows.
Red brick climbs the full height of the fireplace, stretching past the second-floor landing and creating a dramatic centerpiece in the room. Above the mantle, a knight’s armor plaque adds a medieval touch that completes the Renaissance-inspired aesthetic.
Loft and Waterfront Patio
Up the staircase, a loft-style room sits beneath vaulted ceilings, offering an open view over the kitchen and dining area below.
Just to the right, a spacious outdoor balcony reveals sweeping views of Lake Michigan, making the upper level just as impressive as the rest of the home.
Primary Suite Bathroom
The primary suite’s bathroom mixes classical details with modern flair. Vibrant blue walls wrap around a jetted tub positioned beneath bright windows, while across the room, a walk-in shower, detailed moldings, and an expansive vanity tie it all together with elegant tilework and ample storage.
Pool Views
Outside, a beautifully designed stone patio wraps around a shimmering pool that appears to stretch into the horizon, amplifying the peacefulness and connection to the water.
Beyond the pool, the property has 307 feet of private lakefront beach, offering access to the water for leisurely strolls along the shoreline or moments of reflection while listening to the soothing rhythm of the waves.
