Waterfront retreat situated on 150 feet of private Lake Michigan frontage with a sandy shoreline stretching for miles. This iconic mid-century modern beach house combines architectural pedigree with refined coastal living. Inside, two bedrooms and two full bathrooms accompany a sleek, well-appointed kitchen with stainless steel appliances and an open layout framed by dramatic floor-to-ceiling windows. Breathtaking lake views and sunsets pour into every room, while the expansive lakefront deck creates a seamless flow between indoor and outdoor living. A robust steel seawall ensures long-term shoreline preservation. Currently operating as a highly successful short-term rental, this turnkey property offers not only a luxurious lakefront escape but also a proven income-generating investment.

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by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.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