176 sunset shores road

Experience elevated Northwoods living on the shores of Sunset Lake, a breathtaking 560-acre all-sports lake in Bates Township known for its crystal-clear waters, public beach, pavilion, and year-round recreation. Newly constructed in 2024, this exceptional ranch-style waterfront residence offers 100 feet of pristine frontage and showcases a seamless blend of refined design and timeless Northwoods character, highlighted by warm wood ceilings, rich wood accents, and a beautifully crafted staircase that carries the aesthetic throughout the home. From the moment you enter, you’re welcomed by soaring cathedral ceilings and a dramatic floor-to-ceiling fireplace, perfectly positioned to frame panoramic lake views. The open-concept layout flows effortlessly into a thoughtfully designed kitchen featuring quartz countertops, custom cabinetry, and an inviting bar area, ideal for both intimate gatherings and entertaining. A private sunroom or office just off the kitchen provides a quiet retreat with sliding doors and tranquil water views. The main-level primary suite is a true sanctuary, offering expansive lake-facing windows, walk-in closets, and a spa-inspired bath complete with a tiled walk-in shower, Kohler soaking tub with ceiling-mounted filler, and in-floor heat for added comfort. With 4 to 5 bedrooms and 3 full baths, this home is designed to accommodate both everyday living and hosting with ease. The walkout lower level extends the living space with additional bedrooms, a full bath, and a warm, inviting family room with kitchenette and bar, creating the perfect setting for guests. A bonus room currently serves as a yoga studio, while a charming under-stair book nook adds a touch of character. Multiple living spaces, including a four-season room overlooking the water, offer flexibility for relaxation or work-from-home needs. Quality finishes continue throughout with ceramic wood-look tile flooring, a spacious utility and storage area, and an extra-deep 2+ car attached garage plumbed for heat. Outdoors, a concrete driveway leads you home, while a fenced yard adds convenience. Evenings are best spent lakeside around the smokeless Breeo firepit, taking in the unforgettable sunsets that give Sunset Lake its name. The dock with steps and all appliances are included, making this a truly move-in-ready offering.
