Remarks and Miscellaneous

Public Remarks: Tucked into the wooded dunes of Porter Beach, this architecturally distinctive Esgate redwood contemporary is a private retreat in the trees, just a short walk from Lake Michigan. Natural slate flooring grounds the main level while soaring vaulted redwood ceilings, exposed beams, skylights, transom windows and walls of glass bring in abundant natural light and views of the surrounding trees and sky. The open great room connects the living and dining areas with a beautifully appointed kitchen featuring Wood-Mode cabinetry, Sub-Zero refrigeration and high-end appliances. An adjoining glass sunroom continues the vaulted redwood ceiling, creating an extraordinary space surrounded by nature. Sliding doors from the living and dining areas, sunroom and main-level primary suite open to an expansive wood deck spanning the length of the home, blurring the line between indoors and out and capturing peaceful views of the dunes and woods. The walkout lower level offers a private guest bedroom and full bath with direct access to a secluded stone patio and outdoor grilling area. The laundry, utility space and an oversized two-car garage with generous workshop and storage space complete this level. Two parcels totaling approximately .46 acre include the .37-acre homesite plus an additional .09-acre wooded parcel behind the property, preserving exceptional privacy with no future building directly behind the home. Distinctive architecture, remarkable privacy and the beauty of the dunes come together in a setting that feels worlds away, yet keeps Lake Michigan wonderfully close. This is not simply a home near Lake Michigan. It is an architectural retreat designed to live in harmony with its surroundings. New HVAC
