Description

Perched on 447 feet of beautiful Lake Michigan beachfront with another 658 feet of frontage on the Kalamazoo River, this 8365 square foot home sits like a lighthouse overlooking the beautiful waters of the Great Lakes.

In nearly every direction, windows provide a stunning view of the lake or the surrounding dunes. The home sits on 7.31 acres, seemingly steps from the water's edge. Construction was completed before the state passed the Michigan Dunes Protection Act, allowing it to sit much closer to the shoreline than would be possible now. Inside, the yacht-like feel to t
