Touches of elegance and the feeling of lifetimes preserved give this remarkable Lake Michigan home a character all its own. Set along 100 feet of sandy frontage on Beaver Island’s north shore, the home blends timeless architectural details with extraordinary craftsmanship and thoughtful design. Coffered ceilings, custom hardwood cabinetry, marble countertops, solid maple and tile flooring, restored antique lighting, custom stained glass, and collected architectural pieces create a home that simply cannot be replicated. The kitchen is equally distinctive, with an antique steel ceiling, generous workspace, large bar, and appliances cleverly tucked into unfitted cabinetry. And then there is the sunroom. Running the length of the home along the Lake Michigan side, this light-filled space feels as though it stepped straight out of Savannah, Georgia, with doors from the adjoining rooms opening toward the waterfront beyond. Designed for comfortable main-floor living, the primary suite and two beautifully finished bedrooms are all on the first floor, while two additional bedroom suites upstairs provide privacy for family and guests. Four bedrooms feature ensuite baths, and a lake-view loft creates another inviting place to gather or retreat. Comfort and efficiency were equally considered, with radiant in-floor heat, geothermal heating and cooling, two wood stoves, plus wind and solar power with battery storage. This home also is protected by SimpliSafe. The lower level offers abundant storage and dedicated creative spaces, including a wood shop, stained-glass studio, and paint studio. Outside, 100 feet of sandy Lake Michigan shoreline becomes part of everyday life. Private and tucked away, yet just minutes from town and the Beaver Island Lodge, this is a place to step into another world without giving up convenience. A home with a story, a shoreline of your own, and an island life waiting to be lived. Your island home awaits.
