Perched on the shores of the beautiful Garden Bay, you’ll find this truly once in a lifetime home that you’ll have to see to believe. The exterior is clad in locally sourced limestone, with each stone being hand chiseled and strategically placed. The result is a stunning textural masterpiece, blurring the lines between masonry and sculpture. Curb appeal aside, there is far more to appreciate when you step off the deck and onto the massive yard leading down to the private horseshoe shaped marina. The unique design creates an ideal place to store boats, jet skis, or even a sea plane! Private marinas are a rarity amongst Lake Michigan property owners, and a real treat for the lucky few who have them. With perfect southwestern exposure, you’ll find yourself drinking in the colorful sunsets night after night; A view that truly never gets old. The interior of the home exudes a subtle sophistication, with soft neutral tones that keep the focus on the beautiful views beyond. The original antique wood floors are 1 inch hand grooved, and hand centered punched hard maple. These priceless floors were salvaged from a historic chapel built in the 1800’s, and could truly never be replaced. There has been a serious attention to detail and quality placed on every aspect of this unique home. Every square inch (with the exception of the facade and historic details) was meticulously renovated in 2017 including wiring, plumbing, roof, windows, etc. The kitchen features top of the line Wolf appliances, and custom countertops and cabinetry providing ample storage space. The layout of the home is open concept, and airy, resulting in a highly efficient plan that could work for any buyer’s needs. The primary bedroom is located on the ground floor, which is not only convenient, but provides privacy and separation from the guests and family that will be settled into the rooms upstairs. Storage will never be in issue with the attached 26x32 garage and detached 30x40 outbuilding.
