About this home

This architectural treasure sits overlooking the Saugatuck River and the wealth of wildlife it sustains. Originally built in 1924 and remodeled in the 1990s, this exceptional home with open floor plan is perfect for entertaining and includes a potential home office opportunity with separate entrance. The step down LR with a wall of windows offers sweeping views of the river and leads to a deck with retractable awning and steps to the river. The spacious MBR suite is crowned with Palladian windows with river views, soaring ceilings and large closets with storage. Freshly painted inside and out and new and refinished hardwood floors. Ready to move in. There is a heating element on the shaded part of the roof to prevent ice damming.
