Summit Township, MI 49431

LAKE MICHIGAN ESTATE WITH HISTORY & HORIZON VIEWS - Rarely does a property of this caliber and historical significance come to market. Set on 2.8 wooded (with an additional 2.5 acres available), rolling acres between Ludington and Pentwater, this remarkable 4 bedroom, 3 bathroom, high-bluff estate offers 200 feet of private Lake Michigan frontage, panoramic sunset views, and exceptional privacy. The home was originally built in 1910 and blends rich local history with timeless craftsmanship. The 3-story residence features 4,005 square feet of above-grade living space, highlighted by soaring ceilings, expansive windows, original hardwood floors and woodwork, and unique historical details throughout. Ascend the original staircase to find three expansive bedrooms and the original servants' (pickers) quarters - with some of their names still etched in the chimney brickwork. There is plumbing already in place to turn the currently used storage space into a 4th bathroom, if desired. Thenfollow the spiral stairs even higher to ''The Lookout.'' This third-story attic space has been transformed into a stunning recreation room featuring exposed beams and custom track lighting. Complete with an easy access 1,456 sq ft basement, 2-car attached garage, workshop/utility shed with electric, and significant infrastructure updates including a new septic system and drain field (2010), roof replacement (2015), 95-foot well installation (2017), updated electrical service (2022), and a new 3-zone hot water combo heating system (2024), this is a rare opportunity to own a piece of Lake Michigan history. *Home with additional acres totaling 5.3 acres available at MLS 26029161*
