About This Home

As of December 2021

The Grateful Red is simply one of the most well-known homes in the area and is now being offered for sale for the first time by the original owners. The home was inspired by their dream to create a distinctive classic that exudes the warmth of early 20th century beach house charm. A home that family and friends can gather, celebrate and live life to the fullest.

Nestled in the woods high above Lake Michigan, The Grateful Red is situated so the amazing waters of Lake Michigan and the brilliant sunsets can be viewed from the various porches, sun room, kitchen and ultimately, the master bedroom. Walking up the street toward the Grateful Red, you will first notice the most amazing wall of custom windows which look over meticulously manicured gardens and then realize that you are viewing t sides of the home simultaneously.

Inside, whether dining in the formal dining room, snacking at the bar, or seated at the breakfast nook, you will not be disappointed with the spacious wide open gourmet kitchen from which the food is prepared. Afterwards, enjoy the sounds from the music room, settle down in front of the fireplace in the living room, relax on the spacious screen porch or spread out in the outdoor living area around an open fire. If motivated, walk to the bluff overlooking Lake Michigan and meander down your deeded access stairs to the waters below.
Coming back from the lake, use the outdoor shower near the three-stall garage, and enter the mud room and pile your beach towels in the large laundry near the door.

The majestic main entryway opens to the foyer and a custom curved walnut staircase leading to the upper level. The master en-suite has dreamy panoramic Lake Michigan views and a private sunset deck where you can sit and listen to the waves on the shore. There are 2 additional bedrooms upstairs, along with an office/study area, a second full laundry room, and an additional amazing full bath.
