This finely crafted beach home could NEVER be built for this price today set on 1.5 acres by top shelf luxe builder Mike Wojcik and Marvin Herman Architecture. Equipped with an elevator to all floors, this finely crafted masterpiece delivers the ultimate living experience with floor to ceiling picture windows that allow the backdrop of panoramic lake views to radiate throughout. Sensational level of build quality throughout: detailed door casings & moldings, chestnut wide plank floors, gorgeous neutral stones & white marbles, all accented with meticulous trim carpentry. Chef's kitchen overlooks the entire first floor w/nooked in breakfast booth, butcher block w/ soapstone countertops, Ann Sacks tile work & Waterworks sink.

Current owners took this house one step further by adding a coach house that seamlessly blends with main house as if this structure as always been here. Beautiful breezeway accenting with matching porch swings signals a welcoming transition to a spectacular coach house with commercial level 3 car garage w/custom auto body shelving & cabinetry, epoxy flooring, & custom silent garage doors. Separate entrance with staircase up to a full 2nd floor in law suite with workout area. This lakefront destination makes living easy & convenient as town is only a quick 10 min picturesque walk. Added bonus.. newly completed reengineered bluff & all re-landscaped to perfection by Bill Eiserman. Hands down the BEST lakefront value in the North Shore now at this price.
