Modern Lake Michigan home with endless water views.

hile cruising north from the Grand Haven channel, this modern home catches the eye. With its unique angles, bright white siding, glass railings on multi-level decks and brand-new rock revetment, this is a Great Lakes lovers’ paradise. The home had a recent top-to-bottom renovation and offers modern lines, airy living spaces and four bedroom suites, each with an updated bathroom and a sliding door out to the wraparound patio. “We fell in love with the house initially because of two things: Its location and its California cliff house feel,” says homeowner Cate McClure. “The house is also situated close to the water, with windows everywhere, so that you feel like you are floating in the trees over the water. There’s nothing like it.” Because it’s designed into the bluff, the rear of the home offers a quiet, protected haven with dual entries into the main and lower level of the home, as well as a private relaxation space tucked behind the attached

garage. The top, main level of the home boasts the master suite oasis, kitchen and adjoining dining room with vaulted ceilings, half bath, and living room with a corner fireplace surrounded by windows. Thanks to the geometric angles, nearly every wall has a window overlooking either secluded dune landscapes or serene Lake Michigan sightlines. Guests will find solitude in the private-entry lower level, which features three ensuite bedrooms and another living space. Tons of storage awaits in the basement. Despite recent high water levels, the home still maintains 105 feet of beach frontage, and the new rock revetment provides peace of mind for future shoreline erosion. “Our favorite parts of the house are the windows and the water,” McClure says. “Windows looking out on beautiful Lake Michigan are everywhere. There is nothing more relaxing than falling asleep to the sound of Lake Michigan waves." ★
