Restored, Renovated, and Revitalized... This home is an Island Classic. Built for Smalley Daniel, an early automotive pioneer/industrialist, from Grand Rapids as his vacation lodge. Situated on a bluff with sunset views of Lake Michigan and High Island, this property is bordered by 200 acres of State of Michigan land. This home is located near the cul de sac of Buff-Malloy Drive, offering seclusion, escape, and privacy. This home includes lots 2 and 3. Original wood flooring in the living room and dining room accentuates the stone fireplace and gives the place a historic lodge feel; while the remainder of the place with vinyl plank flooring and updated interior has a decided coastal/beach vibe.DISCLOSURE: Listing Broker/Agent has an ownership interest in the property. With 5 bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms, The Daniel's place would make an excellent rental/income property or be perfect for a large family group. Large cedar closets. Great storage. Showing is by appointment only, listing broker/agent is expected to be present unless prior arrangements have been made.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
