About This Home

As of October 2025

If perfection had an address, it would be 950 Woodbine. Originally designed in 1996 by David Poulton, this Nantucket inspired home is situated on a spectacular 1.3 acre property a block from Lake Michigan. The current owners masterfully renovated the house from top to bottom creating an environment that is at once elegant & inviting, perfect for entertaining or quiet moments. Of special note is the fantastic kitchen w/double islands, custom cabinetry & high end appliances opening to the breakfast, family & sun rooms. The 1st floor also features beautiful living & dining rooms, a paneled library, butler's pantry, well-appointed mudrm & 2 half baths. The primary suite is wonderful w/vaulted ceiling & fireplace, a luxurious bath, separate office & walk-in closet. The 2nd floor also features 3 generously sized ensuite bedrms plus a sitting rm. The lower level completes the home w/a bedrm/full bath, rec rm, exercise rm, theater, wine cellar & huge laundry rm. Other special features of the main house include a new Brava roof ('25), 2 staircases, a generator, entirely new wifi network & lighting system ('24), as well as lush landscaping surrounding a bluestone terrace w/fireplace plus a covered porch. Additionally the 1.3 acre property boasts a gorgeous pool w/a spectacular new Ed Deegan designed pool house w/kitchenette, fireplace, bath & heating & ac, as well as a totally renovated & well appointed 2 bedrm/1 bath vintage coach house. Truly perfection at every turn.
