The home reflects impressions from Japan, Singapore, China, Australia, and Indonesia. Set in an environment created in the likeness of nature, this home captures the ambiance and beauty of architectural sophistication in a way that is unmatched by its peers. This beautiful masterpiece is offered to discriminating buyers who value originality and whose sense of style is not confined by more contemporary design concepts. When you reside at a prominent location such as 79261 Edgewater Road, the experience is also about the view and the ever changing light and sky. The architectural design seamlessly integrates this residence into the picturesque landscape, and is situated idyllically overlooking the Brandywine Creek and breathtaking views of Lake Michigan. Capturing distant borrowed views from one of the most naturally beautiful pieces of land anywhere along the lakeshore, the Brandywine flows through the grounds and offers its rhythmic melody to this place, affectionately referred to as "Inn Cognito", before finding respite in Michigan's blue. From the moment you enter the six-hundred acres of this rustic cottage community with miles of undeveloped diverse woodlands and dunes to explore, you know you have entered a unique and special place. Arranged in a manner to highlight a selection of provocative artistic and formal elements, this quality built home is only steps away from the wide, sandy, association owned beach. Design decor, garden statuary, and numerous remodeling projects spanning 40 years, clearly indicate that no expense was spared updating and accessorizing this home. The double main leaded glass entry doors lead into an intimate entry and living room featuring unique George Nelson designer lighting, two-story ceiling with pine plank walls and beams, antique Japanese lanterns, slate floors with black river-stone inlay, and the only remaining original feature in the home—the stately gas-log, stone fireplace with black granite hearth and mantel. The living room and adjacent raised dining room are naturally lighted by two large skylights and a prominent, wall-to-wall solarium overlooking the terraced Japanese garden. Accent lighting not only maintains the ambiance and character of this extraordinary home at night, but also defines the surroundings with an unparalleled enchantment. The heart of every home is an inviting and functional kitchen, and this exceptional design, juxtaposed to other design elements with a more modern flare, provides every amenity and more that a chef could desire. Centered in the space is a large island for food preparation and cooking, decorative stainless steel vent, Bosch cooktop (less than two years old), and raised-bar counter. Stainless steel SubZero refrigerator and freezer and Gaggenau stove further represent the owners' commitment to quality and style. The walls are surrounded by floor to ceiling, trending white, Pennsville custom cabinets for every storage and cooking need. An abundance of slate colored Corian counters are a cohesive part of the overall aesthetic and play an important role unifying the kitchen to the informal dining area. The adjacent sunroom, with three walls of windows to maximize water front and nature views, is a wonderful place to gather and take in the surroundings before dinner, and an intimate seating area focused on the prominent gas-log, double-faced, stone fireplace place is a perfect retreat for conversation or to unwind with a good book. An adjoining small office space provides convenience and solitude, and is a welcome addition to the grand design. The view in the Lake Room takes center stage with large windows and sliding glass doors defining the space and bringing the outside in. Ceilings are crowned by pine plank beams, and slate floors with black river stone inlays and Japanese lanterns continue the theme represented elsewhere throughout the home. Shoji screens, another theme represented elsewhere, embellish the windows and doors to create a more intimate, authentic experience. This is the perfect place to take in the day's news on one of four flat screen tvs, and is the perfect place to appreciate beautiful lake and sunset views during any season. A third convenient dining area located in the Lake Room includes a wet-bar with granite counters and plenty of storage, two Subzero mini refrigerators, Scotsman ice maker, and J-Lini wine cooler. Outside the reflective UVA windows and glass doors in the Lake Room is one of several decks which offer over two-thousand square feet of dining, relaxing and entertaining space. Edgewater Lane is an incomparable fusion of artistic design, superior construction and finishing materials, incredible personal comforts and conveniences, and unbelievable vistas. All in all, this home provides a magnificent backdrop for every-day living and entertaining on a grand scale. The second level is devoted entirely to two bedrooms (one of which is currently being used as an office) and an expansive, grandly appointed master suite encompassing a 525sf bedroom with vaulted ceiling, double sliding glass doors to an intimate private deck, remarkable sunset and lake views, a beautiful gas-log stone fireplace, floor-to-ceiling custom built-ins, en-suite with glass enclosed steam shower, and separate his and her closets with hanging storage and drawer space enclosed by Shoji screens replacing traditional doors. This is a unique and wonderful place to fall to sleep at the end of a long day. The detached guesthouse with additional full bath over the two-stall garage adds more than 525sf of finished living space to the 3,359 finished square feet represented in the main house. Both the guest house and the garage have independent, dedicated heat and air-conditioning, and the guest house has it's own dedicated water heater. Guests will appreciate this private, intimate space featuring gas-log, stone fireplace, vaulted ceiling, and four large skylights off one of the more private decks. The lower level of the main house represents one of many additions added by the current owners' and accommodates the homes mechanicals, free-standing climate controlled wine cooler, environmental sauna, an unbelievable work shop and additional storage. To own 79261 Edgewater Road is to enjoy the thrill of finding a unique luxury experience that is seldom replicated where it's least expected, and to live life to its fullest. Located only sixty-minutes from Kalamazoo/Battle Creek International Airport, fifteen-minutes from South Haven Regional Airport, two hours from Chicago, two hours from Detroit. This residential masterpiece is easily accessible, yet its residents enjoy the utmost serenity and seclusion, surrounded by the naturally beautiful woods, dunes, and trails on the beautiful Lake Michigan shoreline. Offered for $1,295,000. http://www. LakeMichiganLifestyles.com
