TWIN
CEDARS COURT
One of the last
old Lakeside MI estates accessed by a long private lane, with
2.29 acres and over 250’ lakefront (262’ according
to Plat and 254’+ by 2003 survey) fabulous lake views and
wonderful “singing sand” beach.
The grounds include
lovely mature trees and pines, many perennial plantings, good
parking space and plenty of room for a pool.
The rambling,
vintage cottage needs much work…but could be restored and
renovated…or replaced by a spacious home with incredible
views…if built according to current DEQ regulations. (2003
J.F.N. DEQ information and bluff evaluation report on file.)
One of the really
unique aspects of this property is the “Studio” especially
designed and built as a workplace for a former owner’s prodigious
artistic talents. It can also be a very unusual guest house (or
temporary quarters while building or renovating). Primarily one
enormous two story high room, with lakefront window walls, kitchenette,
bath, loft sleeping area, fireplace, storeroom (and a special
high hidden door for entering and exiting huge canvases), it could
be the basis for a large contemporary home.
Features also
include a newer 2 car garage with workroom and storage shed, municipal
water and sewer, AEP electric service and natural gas piped into
the Studio. The heavily vegetated bluff also has an iron seawall.
All in all, a
one of a kind property…with acreage and lake frontage rarely
on the market in the Harbor Country area, less than an hour and
a half from Chicago…and minutes from many wonderful eateries,
galleries, shops, etc. A family compound kind of place, to provide
happy times for several generations.
