Overlooking Lake Michigan, enjoy peaceful privacy atop the highest point in Forest Beach Estates. With an exterior that honors craftsman style and an interior of visually striking post and beam, celebrated architect John Banks collaborated with the owners to create a practical design that works well for two, yet enthusiastically accommodates a large gathering of family and friends. Quality construction by Norm Zielke Builders, with an artfully crafted fieldstone fireplace that extends through all three floors. The dramatic stonework serves as the focal point of the two-story living room. The main floor features a primary bedroom suite with a study, screened room, covered porch, and generous kitchen with lakeside dining area. Upstairs you'll find 4 guest bedrooms, 2 full baths, plus the "Lake Room", boasting splendid lake views through the treetops. The finished lower level has a large bonus room, full bath, family room with fireplace, and plenty of room for games, along with an oversized two-car attached garage. The over one half acre parcel offers space for outdoor play, a firepit and woodland adventures. Forest Beach is a gated, golf cart friendly community featuring tennis, lakefront access, community club house, and swimming pool. Forest Beach is just minutes from downtown New Buffalo via the bike and hike Marquette Greenway, coming fall of 2024.
