Description
Set across 17.21 acres with over 600 feet of private Lake Michigan frontage, the former H.D. Mendel residence is a rare architectural estate of true legacy scale. Norman Carver Jr design with strong Japanese contemporary influence, the home is defined by expansive glass, natural wood elements, and a seamless integration of landscape and shoreline. Walls of glass frame uninterrupted lake views while preserving privacy along a secluded, tree-lined approach. The 6,200+ square foot main residence offers seven bedrooms, seven-and-a-half baths, multiple gathering spaces, and a main-level primary suite overlooking the water. The grounds unfold as a private compound: in-ground pool, tennis court, double seawall, tram to the beach, and separate guest quarters. With 17+ wooded acres and 600 feet of frontage, the setting is expansive and private; a rarity along this stretch of coastline. An irreplaceable Lake Michigan estate offering scale, provenance, and architectural integrity seldom offered
