If perfection had an address, it would be 950 Woodbine. Originally designed in 1996 by David Poulton, this Nantucket inspired home is situated on a spectacular 1.3 acre property a block from Lake Michigan. The current owners masterfully renovated the house from top to bottom creating an environment that is at once elegant & inviting, perfect for entertaining or quiet moments. Of special note is the fantastic kitchen w/double islands, custom cabinetry & high end appliances opening to the breakfast, family & sun rooms. The 1st floor also features beautiful living & dining rooms, a paneled library, butler's pantry, well-appointed mudrm & 2 half baths. The primary suite is wonderful w/vaulted ceiling & fireplace, a luxurious bath, separate office & walk-in closet. The 2nd floor also features 3 generously sized ensuite bedrms plus a sitting rm. The lower level completes the home w/a bedrm/full bath, rec rm, exercise rm, theater, wine cellar & huge laundry rm. Other special features of the main house include a new Brava roof ('25), 2 staircases, a generator, entirely new wifi network & lighting system ('24), as well as lush landscaping surrounding a bluestone terrace w/fireplace plus a covered porch. Additionally the 1.3 acre property boasts a gorgeous pool w/a spectacular new Ed Deegan designed pool house w/kitchenette, fireplace, bath & heating & ac, as well as a totally renovated & well appointed 2 bedrm/1 bath vintage coach house. Truly perfection at every turn.
