About This Home

Exquisite opportunity! With over 14 acres and 250 ft of lake frontage on White Lake, this Edwardian Era home exudes historic charm and opulence. In addition to the 3 stories of impressive wood work, 9' ceilings, three gorgeous fireplaces, and your choice of porches, this property also includes a 1400 sq foot carriage house, storage shed, boat house, and an electric beach trolley. Five large bedrooms and two full bathrooms give plenty of space; however, the 3rd floor attic has great potential for additional living space and/or more bedrooms if desired. A mix of sandy beach and sea wall on the shore allows for all types of water sports' fun. The area is known for trophy fishing, golf, boating, & hunting. White Lake is a deep water port to Lake Michigan making it ideal for boating/sailing!
