Experience unparalleled beachfront luxury in Harbor Country with this exquisite Nantucket-style retreat, designed by renowned architect Heidi Hornaday and built in 2018. Spanning 5,101 square feet, this architectural gem boasts panoramic Lake Michigan and Chicago skyline views, a charming turret, and porthole windows, all leading to 80 feet of private shoreline.
Inside, an expansive open floor plan seamlessly blends comfort and sophistication. The great room features a soaring vaulted ceiling, a striking double-sided stone fireplace, and a cozy turret sitting nook. The gourmet kitchen and dining area, complete with a wine fridge and beverage cooler, are perfect for hosting. The shiplap-clad office, offering beach and lake vistas, creates an inspiring and serene workspace for work-from-home days. Multiple sliding glass doors open to a spacious deck with sleek glass railings, enhancing the indoor-outdoor flow.
The primary suite offers sweeping lake panoramas, a private sitting area, a walk-in closet, and a spa-like en suite bath. Three additional bedrooms on the second level, connected by an open balcony, are bathed in natural light, each offering breathtaking waterfront scenery.
The lower level is designed for both relaxation and entertainment, featuring a spacious family room, a game area, and a versatile turret space ideal for intimate gatherings. A large storage room with direct beach access keeps all your water gear within easy reach.
The newly designed lakefront walkway connects the shaded patio to the beach. A thoughtfully crafted Accoya deck with a drink rail and built-in bench provides the perfect setting for sunset views, while a sturdy staircase leads to the beach, ensuring effortless access to the water.
This is a rare opportunity to own one of Michiana's finest beachfront properties, blending modern luxury with timeless lakefront charm.
