A spacious chef's kitchen with a center island, double ovens, and plentiful cabinetry opens into a large dining area and a cozy living room featuring a gas fireplace and built-ins all surrounded by serene wooded views and an abundance of natural light. Outdoor living is unmatched, with a wraparound deck, screened-in porch, and a brick patio that create the perfect setting for sunset cocktails, quiet morning coffee, or evening dinners under the trees. The main-floor primary suite offers a private retreat with an en suite bath with french doors and ample closet space, while two upper bedrooms with charming built-ins and a large loft-style landing provide warmth, character, and flexibility for guests or family. A convenient main-floor laundry room and adjacent mudroom offer practical storage and everyday ease, while the attached two-car garage adds to the home's functionality. Thoughtfully designed and immaculately maintained, this property balances timeless design with the beauty of its natural surroundings. 8985 Lakeshore Drive offers a rare opportunity to own a private, wooded retreat with access to the best of Lake Michigan. Whether you're seeking a full-time residence or a weekend escape, this home delivers the perfect blend of luxury, nature, and lake life. Furnace (2024) Roof (2013)
