Welcome to your dream home, perfectly situated in a coveted neighborhood blocks from Lake Michigan. This stunning 4 bedroom, 4.5 bathroom property has an incredible layout, and has been meticulously well maintained. Boasting breathtaking views of the ravine year round, this home is a true oasis of tranquility. This exquisite property showcases a seamless blend of prairie-style and craftsman architecture, resulting in a striking and cohesive aesthetic. From the broad eaves and low-pitched rooflines to the attention to detail in every element of the design, this home captures the essence of these two iconic styles. Enjoy the warmth and character of natural materials and textures, along with the clean lines and understated elegance that define these time-honored traditions. Whether you are a lover of history, design, or simply appreciate the beauty of a well-crafted home, this property is sure to captivate and inspire. Upon entering the home, you will be struck by the spacious and inviting main level, which features vaulted ceilings and ample room perfect for hosting guests or spending time with family. The living room is warm and inviting with wood paneled vaulted ceilings, six sets of sliding glass doors to access the outdoors on all sides, and complete with a large brick fireplace perfect for those chilly nights. Picturesque views of the ravine are also seen from the octagonal library and oversized dining room with ample space for guests. The large chefs kitchen boasts an oversized island, ample solid wood cabinetry, butler pantry with additional sink and dishwasher, and storage pantry with views of the ravine. A spacious family room is open to the kitchen and has an additional fireplace, book shelves, and access to the generous laundry & mudroom and 3 car garage. The first-floor primary suite is a private retreat, complete with two separate bathrooms and plenty of closet space. An incredible home office or fifth bedroom is also located off the primary bedroom with access to the outdoors as well. The staircase to the upper level is bathed in light from the skylight above and once the staircase is ascended boasts views out the large window seat. This level includes a generous bedroom, bathroom, and two additional bedrooms with large Jack & Jill bath between. One of the highlights of this property is the attached screened-in gazebo, offering the perfect place to unwind and take in the serene surroundings. Whether you're sipping your morning coffee or enjoying a glass of wine at sunset, the views from the gazebo are simply breathtaking. With views like these, you'll feel like you're in a secluded retreat, even though you're just minutes from all the amenities the area has to offer.
