This extraordinary offering was originally built as a summer lodge for a prominent Grand Rapids family back in 1926. It has been lovingly restored and enlarged for the current owner by Via Design and Scott Christopher Homes. The extremely private site is located at the end of a cul de sac and features the original cobblestone wall along the river, and a mature tree canopy that gives it the feel of an English Manor. The southwestern views over the perfectly manicured riverfront features extensive landscaping, decking and docks to fully enjoy the wide river expanse. The home is a study in the careful integration of old and new design and construction. While this special home pays homage to the original history it has been transformed into a spacious, yet comfortable estate with only the best in materials, fit and finish and design.
