Set on 2.4 rolling acres with panoramic views of Lake St. Clair, this iconic property blends timeless elegance, modern luxury, and natural beauty. Designed for grand-scale entertaining, indoor and outdoor spaces flow seamlessly - from expansive bluestone patios, koi pond, and putting green to a sparkling pool, solarium, and greenhouse. A dramatic two-story marble foyer with floating spiral staircase and trompe l'oeil ceiling welcomes guests. Walls of windows frame stunning lake views throughout. Formal spaces include a step-down living room, two elegant powder rooms, richly carved library with hidden doorway, and a mahogany wet bar. The dining room opens to a sunlit solarium. The chef's kitchen boasts a butler's pantry, scullery, and home command station. Anchored by a stone fireplace, the open kitchen includes a large island, casual dining, and access to the pool terrace. A vaulted wood-beamed family room with granite wet bar links to the pool house and greenhouse. Upstairs, the primary suite is a serene retreat with lake views, limestone fireplace, Venetian plaster walls, and a custom coffee bar. Two distinct dressing rooms offer style and function. A spacious in-law suite sits above the living room with its own fireplace and walk-in closet. There are six en-suite bedrooms in total, plus a large laundry room, massive linen room, and a bonus room off the back staircase. The finished lower level features a playroom, full bath, and ample storage. Car enthusiasts will love the motor court, climate-controlled garages for eight cars, and port cochere. The carriage house offers a customizable opportunity. Taxes are non-homesteaded. Sale includes two parcels. Gated access and an extensive security system for privacy.
