About This Home

As of December 2016

Architecturally significant and very livable one owner lakefront home designed by Grand Rapids architect Ed Bolt and craftsman built by Norman Graham. 125' of stunning and panoramic frontage on Lake Michigan, and deep lakefront set-back to allow for privacy and maximum use of the lakefront lot. Neutral and flexible interior to accommodate a wide range of design tastes--from contemporary to more traditional palates. Designed to allow an abundance of natural light into the house throughout the day and with a flow to make entertaining even large groups easy. Many custom features including clear maple cabinets, trim and molding; quarter sawn oak floors, vaulted ceilings, built-ins and a wet bar. Custom kitchen and first floor en suite master bedroom overlooks garden courtyard and fountain. The family/media room, living room and formal dining room all offer Lake Michigan views (positioned to take advantage of the lake's incredible sunsets). Two additional bedrooms, a sleeping room and a full bath are on the second floor. Unfinished basement with secondary exterior access offers additional future options to expand living space. Large two-car plus attached garage and an abundance of other storage options. The property also includes a unique 10x24 detached library-studio with half bath in the same style as the main house accessible directly across the garden courtyard. Extensive and mature landscaping and blue stone patio further enhances the beauty of this unique lakefront property. The centralized location is a short driving distance to the award winning cities of St. Joseph and Benton Harbor and nationally recognized Silver Beach. Lake Vista is a site condominium development with ten homes, each sharing the association stairs and beach.
