Rare opportunity to own a stunning Mid-Century Modern lake retreat on a peaceful, non-motorized lake on Grand Rapids' northeast side. This 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath home offers a rare blend of iconic architectural design and effortless lakefront living.
Set on nearly an acre with 75 feet of frontage, the property pairs architectural clarity with an exceptional natural setting. Large windows frame sweeping water views, while clean lines, open living spaces, and a strong indoor-outdoor connection reflect the enduring appeal of Mid-Century design.
Recent improvements include an updated kitchen, Renewal by Andersen windows, finished lower level with walkout access, commercial-grade roof (2024), and an ADA-compliant wraparound TREX deck overlooking the lake. Additional amenities include a hot tub, infrared sauna, alfresco dining area, and an invisible fence extending throughout the property and into the water.
The walkout lower level opens directly to the patio and lake, offering flexible space for entertaining, guests, or quiet retreat. A rare opportunity to own a design-forward lakefront property that feels both private and deeply connected to its surroundings - just minutes from the city. Offers reviewed 5/26 12pm.
