10272 angler's cove

At the end of a private, winding road, where sunset turns Lake Charlevoix into a sheet of sparkling rose-gold, is a five bedroom house on 680' of matchless frontage. One of Andre Poineau's finest homes, this North Shore beauty is a perfect foil for the lake, with a wall of windows capturing every view. Inside authentic beadboard enriches the walls and ceilings, complementing extensive Craftsman-style custom woodwork throughout. The back entry is practical with slate floors, which give way to luxe matte-finished wood flooring throughout much of the home (the bedrooms are cozily carpeted). This house feels welcoming, from the large kitchen with new high-end appliances, through the Great Room with a massive natural stone wood-burning fireplace. (Note the scribed wood around the rocks at the loft railing - this sort of attention to detail is everywhere.) There is a boiler system with in-floor heat, which is supplemented by the Daikin air conditioner/heat pumps. A full guest suite is off the back entry, providing complete privacy and serene lake views. The master suite accesses a private screened porch, and has a magnificent fieldstone wood-burning fireplace, and sumptuous bath. A lovely sunroom adjoins the kitchen, and there's a grand foyer entrance into the Great Room. None of the many "grands" and "lovelies" outweigh the homey, warm and inviting feel of this remarkable house. Sold turn-key, the search may be over for the perfect Lake Charlevoix home.
