On the sunrise side at the tip of Stony Point, just at the edge of the blue, sits Light Haven, an unassuming home perfectly proportioned and in harmony with nature. This custom home with 267 ft of dramatic frontage and 1.03 acres, was designed by the modernist master, architect Glenn Arai. Glenn's work is described as "mid-century modern meets Japanese farmhouse". The faà §ade is unpretentious and human scaled. The outward-looking interior captures the light and the beauty of the site. Natural finishes of wood and stone are the primary materials, including 7†x 7†wood beams and posts with custom cast bronze brackets. There is a new hand split and treated cedar shake roof accented by patinated copper flashing. The main level includes an open living, dining and conversation area with a field stone fireplace as a focal point, and corner windows. A study with built-ins and a gas fireplace is slightly elevated above the living area. There’s a fabulous screened porch and deck facing the bay. Two guest rooms, a full bath and laundry complete the main floor rooms. Upstairs is the master bedroom, full bath, dressing room, studio, cozy sleeping alcove, a deck and private screened porch. Here at Light Haven you can watch the freighters seek refuge as they tuck into the bay and witness the daily majesty of Lake Michigan. This special serene setting is also proximate to Suttons Bay and Traverse City shops, dining and entertainment venues.
