About This Home
As of May 2025Welcome to 695 Wendover! Known by fellow Roodmont residents as the lion house, this grand estate from a bygone era beckons you to discover uncommon charm and sophistication. As you approach, notice the triple lot totaling ⅔ acre, as well as the ornate shutters, commissioned to local artisans Don & Barbara Saint Denis, who hand carved and painted them and whose work has been featured in the Smithsonian. Stroll through a quaint carriage overhang with stately brick columns on your way to the double garage with loads of storage above and attached shed behind. Pass through the front door, hang your coat and kick off your shoes in the walk-in entryway closet, then turn toward the great room, where you'll notice original hardwood floors, eight-inch baseboards, and beautifully textured plaster walls that all continue throughout the home. The stately mantle and warm fireplace-surround invite you to stay, to sit and enjoy your landscape through those cool old windows that slightly distort the picture. Next, the large, rustic dining room features an elegant crystal chandelier as the centerpiece, and takes you out to the brand new deck, where next summer you will relax and enjoy your pool area (liner 2023) in complete privacy with the six foot vinyl fence. Back in the kitchen, you will find a cozy breakfast nook with built-in benches that double as storage, and a huge, vintage apron sink. An extra wide staircase takes you to the upper level, where all six bedrooms await, each with its own distinct character. One features a built-in desk and cabinets. Sleep securely with peace of mind under a newer roof (2022). Fireplace didn't warm you enough? Head downstairs to the sauna! Enjoy more living space along with a workshop and plenty of storage, all lined with Old Spanish Tsuga hemlock, dark and rich.The owners kept and refurbished everything they could to preserve historical authenticity. Neighbors claim the house was originally built for a US congressman. Relics found in a cabinet belonging to Representative Guy Vander Jagt seem to validate the claim. Enjoy deeded access to Mona Lake. A minute from 96 & Business-31, two minutes to 31, and still less than ten minutes to Lake Michigan. Under two miles to Harvey at Sternberg. Walking distance to groceries, a cafe, a church, Sprinkles, Subway, a new Mexican restaurant ... you could even walk to the movies! Are you ready for compliments from total strangers who can't wait to tell you how much they love your house? Not to mention those you host, with well over 3,000 square feet to entertain. Oh and raised garden beds, a potting bench, and no deer, so your vegetables and your hostas will flourish! Are you ready to Imagine decking these grand halls for the holidays? In a few years, celebrate when she turns 100! There's nothing else like this in Norton Shores. Schedule your tour today.
