About This Home
As of October 2022Welcome to Lookout Lodge, a classic Michigan cottage lovingly renovated for gracious living by well-known lakeshore designer John Cannarsa of Cannarsa Structure and Design. This period home combines vintage charm with modern conveniences ranging from a chef's kitchen and open living spaces to bright and comfortable bedrooms and baths. Tucked back from the road on one of the best streets on ''the hill'', the home has year-round sunset views of the harbor, and seasonal birds-eye views of the whole basin with easy walking distance to downtown Saugatuck. Nestled on two wide lots under a canopy of oaks, pines, and giant rhododendron, the approach to the house includes an exposed aggregate circular driveway and sidewalks. A carriage house built in 2014 with an oversized 2-car garage also includes a spacious living area perfect for in-laws or guests. Special touches such as copper gas lanterns, wood picket fencing, custom two-sided gas fireplace, built-ins galore, all new Anderson windows and French doors, new two-zone heating/air, steam shower, and a generator make this home move in ready. With outdoor features like a custom gas fire pit, secluded hot tub, canopy lighting in the trees, and oversized decks for entertaining, the entire property can be enjoyed year-round, inside and out. It's rare that all the ingredients of vintage charm, modern living, water views, curb appeal, and location come together so beautifully. This property is difficult to replicate. Welcome to the good life!
