This magnificent estate designed by David Adler, is set on five acres along Lake Michigan. Offering over 400' of lakefront, this home was originally built for Lester and Leola Armour in 1931 as their country estate. Known for his grace and refinement, Adler's classical design has been beautifully maintained and updated for today's buyer. Exquisite mouldings, floor to ceiling windows, 19 fireplaces, warm wood paneling and a fabulous gourmet kitchen open to the family room are a few of the rarely seen details. Sweeping large open rooms can be found on all four floors, including the third floor with exercise room and basement with bar. Unbelievable views are evident from almost every room and the attached studio with kitchen, family room and two bedrooms can be adapted to suit your needs. The backyard, with brick patios, fire pit and breathtaking views of the property and lakefront, offers the utmost in privacy.
