Once in a lifetime opportunity to experience lakefront living in this spectacular, fully renovated home situated on 2.2 acres with 265 feet of Lake Michigan frontage! Perfectly sited on the property to offer total privacy and to capture panoramic views of the lake from nearly every window, this home offers a versatile floor plan and exquisite finishes. Originally built by the notable John Black Lee on the grounds of the former Cyrus J. McCormick estate, and completely renovated, redesigned and expanded 10 years ago by the current owners, this home boasts a gorgeous family room with beautiful built-ins, center fireplace, and walls of floor-to-ceiling sliding glass doors overlooking the lake and the stone patios perched over the water. The adjacent kitchen offers crisp white cabinets, high-end appliances, large center island and a spacious breakfast room connecting to a fantastic screened porch with infrared built-in heathers and retractable screens and more gorgeous views. There is a generous dining room perfect for large holiday dinners. The spacious primary suite offers a cozy fireplace and massive windows with lake vistas. A luxury bath with a double vanity, glass shower and soaking tub, plus a large walk-in closet and four wall closet complete the suite. Three additional family size en-suite bedrooms all offer unique features and striking views. Other highlights include a 3-car garage, beautiful gardens, new driveway, updated mechanicals and electrical, new roof, deep excavated basement and a fully restored bluff. Outstanding one level living in an extraordinary location!

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listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.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.
