The marquee home features a stunningly renovated primary suite and handcrafted millwork making this six bedroom, six full and two half bath home the perfect retreat to enjoy unobstructed Lake Michigan sunrises. Both formal and informal gardens accentuate the beauty of the land. Impressive architectural details abound including a captivating two-story entryway with iron railings, custom chef's kitchen with commercial grade appliances and sunny eat-in area, all in a meticulously maintained one-owner home that strikes the perfect balance between opulence and comfort. Establish your lakeshore legacy: World class and a world away. *PLEASE DO NOT ENTER CRAB TREE FARM LANE WITHOUT PERMISSION, AS IT IS PRIVATE PROPERTY.*
