Enjoy breathtaking sunsets that rival the owners' love of South Florida's Gulf Coast. The 5-bedroom, 3.5-bath home sleeps 14 people and sits on nearly 4 acres of beautifully wooded land and has 100 feet of private lake frontage. The home is wonderfully private as it sits back from Lakeshore Drive with a large front lawn, a 3-season room, a tree-canopied patio with a fire pit, a rooftop deck, and a private stone bluff patio on top of the bluff overlooking lake Michigan. (*note: due to high water levels there are NOT stairs available to access the beach, you can not see the lake from the house). Play beach volley ball in the sand volley ball court in the front yard. The generous and open floor plan is perfectly suited to large gatherings. Host a family reunion, corporate retreat, girls' weekend or guys' getaway. The basement has two bunk beds with six twins total (two of the twin mattress pull out from under the bunk bed). Main Floor 2 bedrooms 1 king 1 queen. Upstairs has 2 bedrooms first one has 1 king bed the second top floor bedroom has 2 bunk beds full on bottom twins on top, and there is a loft with a day bed with trundle. **Please note: due to the private nature of the large lot, you cannot see the lake from the home. Also the home is going through a mini renovation in spring 2022, new pictures to be posted in May**
