Listing information updated 2/5/2023 at 12:23am
This ultra luxurious Nantucket custom home privately perched on 1.5 acres of Lake Michigan shoreline is the perfect backdrop for a coastal Hollywood movie. Over the top white glove features: 6 heated garage spots (calling all car buffs), elevator, coach house w/workout room, 2 laundry rooms & hot tub off 2nd floor family room bring the bling out while being comfortable & under the radar. The pinnacle of design was created by stepping outside the box and ahead of its time with incredible finely crafted details, conceptual open floor living, all with the beautiful backdrop of panoramic lake views from every room. Sensational level of build quality throughout with detailed door casings & moldings, chestnut wide plank floors, floor-to-ceiling pictures windows, gorgeous neutral stones & white marbles, all accented with meticulous trim carpentry. Dramatic first floor floods with natural light that highlights the easy living combined space from dining to entertaining. The vibe of this Nantucket beauty radiates from the Chef's kitchen that overlooks the entire area with nooked in breakfast booth, butcher block w/ soapstone countertops, Ann Sacks tile work & Waterworks farm sink. Fully loaded features on this floor: elevator, huge walk-in pantry, mudroom with command center, 2nd bath (full), laundry, and 3 car attached garage. Expansive second floor with 4 beds (one is now being used as an office), family room, laundry room, and viewing deck overlooking the lake with hot tub for those cold winter nights. Sensational primary suite that is a complete departure into relaxation mode with stunning lake views complemented with automatic window treatments, walk out balcony, retail store like custom walk-in closet, and exquisite white statuary marble bath out of a Four Seasons hotel. 2nd bed with more beautiful views and spa stone custom bath, built-ins, and closets. Hall oversized laundry room is just as beautiful as other rooms and in a convenient location. 2 other designer bedrooms, both with high-end Ann Sacks tile and Calista. The best hang-out space between these bedrooms is welcoming and ideal for kids wanting their own space. The lower level serves many functions with built-out rec space, walk in storage closet for fine items, full bath and meticulous mechanical room Best yet, current owners enhanced this property to even a higher level of beauty & added valuable space with designing a matching coach house that seamlessly blends with main house as if this structure as always been here. Beautiful breezeway accenting with matching porch swings signals a welcoming transition to a spectacular coach house with commercial level luxury 3 car garage with custom auto body shelving & cabinetry, epoxy flooring, and custom silent garage doors. Separate entrance with staircase up to a beautifully designed in-law suite that is now used as an exercise studio with full bedroom, spa bath and kitchenette. Universal space that could serve as in-home office, nanny suite or studio of any kind. Sensational understated beauty that is flawless as now all the pieces are in place with the just completed reengineered bluff & all re-landscaped to perfection by Bill Eiserman in Nov. 2022. (Included the shoring of the bluff with new concrete stair entrance to the tableland that was re-engineered) Gorgeous new front yard facing lake was designed to allow entertaining for all seasons. It's so hard to find a turn key lakefront house and it's even harder to find one that is a beautiful Nantucket!
