About This Home
Live the Charlevoix lifestyle in this iconic Greek Revival estate, just a short walk from downtown’s shops and restaurants. Set on nearly an acre with 125 feet of Lake Michigan shoreline, this 1912-built legacy property offers rare architecture, incredible views of Lake Michigan, and an unbeatable location. Spanning 7,676 sq ft of finished living space across four levels, it features 10 bedrooms and 8 bathrooms—ideal for gathering generations of family and friends. Stately Corinthian columns, intricate moldings, and beamed ceilings define the home’s historic character. French doors open to gracious formal living and dining rooms, each filled with natural light and timeless detailing. A sunroom and large composite deck extend the living space outdoors, perfect for lakefront entertaining. The kitchen features a generous layout with a large central island and custom inset cabinetry, offering plenty of space for hosting large gatherings. Nearby, a richly paneled den with built-in bookshelves and a fireplace provides a warm, inviting space to unwind. A grand staircase leads to the upper levels, where wide hallways and tall ceilings create an open, airy ambiance. The second floor offers six spacious bedrooms—many with lake views and access to a covered balcony—while the third floor adds three additional bedrooms, two baths and a balcony, perfect for accommodating guests. Outside, a private, walkable beachfront with dedicated storage for beach chairs and water toys makes enjoying the lake simple and seamless. An attached three-car garage provides ample storage space. Offered for sale for the first time in nearly 40 years, this historic estate in the heart of downtown Charlevoix is more than a home—it’s a rare opportunity to own a piece of Michigan’s heritage in one of its most charming coastal towns.
