About This Home
As of July 2016Location! Nestled among multi million dollar homes and across the street from Lake Michigan, situated on a magnificent lot, this home will be a long time favorite.

Updated and expanded in the past 15 years, this home is in excellent condition and offers ample space for the extended family and very easy entertaining inside and out. Various rooms empty out on patios. The three season porch integrates easily with the rest of the home to provide a great flow for entertaining along with a spacious family room with an adjacent wet bar. The master bedroom is comfortable, well equipped and flows out to the back yard. All bedrooms are en suite. A finished basement offers additional finished living space. The heated three car garage, sprinkler system, security system and beautifully lit up garden complete this home.
