Exceptional 435 feet of private frontage on all sports Thornapple River. One-of-a-kind setting on a peninsula with water frontage on 2 sides of the property in both the Bayou and the deep-water main tributary of the Thornapple. Set on a 1.1 acre lot, this gives you both the land and river frontage to enjoy your own haven now and the future potential to expand. The Bayou offers a peaceful retreat of quiet water, birds, cattails, and deer nestled by still water. While the river side enjoys western sunset views off the point and access to all sports recreation and boating on the wide waterways. Long stretches of river from the 68th street dam to the Cascade Dam make this a perfect place to explore from kayak, canoe, pontoon or your craft. The home was substantially remodeled and nearly completely rebuilt in 2000. It offers Anderson/Pella windows that draw the dramatic views into every room. Rec room on 2nd floor maximizing views instead of hiding in the basement. A rare find! The remodel in 2000 was high quality, using top brand and quality materials, windows, doors, and more. Solid wood kitchen cabinetry, granite counters, tile bathrooms, and hardwood floors. Upstairs offers 3 traditional bedrooms, including an ensuite bath and walk-in closet off the primary bedroom. The 2nd floor rec room can function as a 4th bedroom or be converted to a primary suite with attached bath. It was used as a studio with the perfect natural lighting. Spacious main floor offers the function for today's lifestyle with 4 season room, large dining and living space, wood burning fireplace, and huge kitchen with center island. The basement hasn't seen a remodel and is ready for your vision. This property is truly a rare find offering stunning wooded acre and 180 degree water views.

Thoughtfully conceived for both everyday living and unforgettable entertaining, this home offers an extraordinary sense of arrival, privacy, and permanence. Step through the custom solid walnut front door into a welcoming foyer framed by a distinctive barrel ceiling and gallery wall. From there, the home unfolds into an expansive, light-filled main level where wide-plank engineered wood floors, meticulously crafted millwork, soaring ceilings and dramatic natural light create an atmosphere that is simultaneously refined and inviting. The remarkable custom kitchen, thoughtfully engineered with a professional chef's expertise, is designed to bring family and friends together. Generous workspace, exceptional storage, and carefully considered details make meal preparation effortless, while the open layout keeps conversation and connection at the center of the space. Whether preparing a casual meal or hosting a gathering, this kitchen is equally functional and inviting—and creates a setting where meals naturally turn into long conversations and lasting memories. Sub-Zero and Wolf appliances include a 48-inch gas range, additional Wolf dual-fuel oven, prep sink, and 44-inch galley sink with walnut butcher-block cutting board and numerous custom accessories. Beverage refrigerators, ice maker, liquor lift, extensive custom storage, and a walk-in pantry add convenience and functionality. Quartz countertops extend throughout the main kitchen, center island, bar, and dining area, while a separate back kitchen with soapstone counters and command center provides additional workspace and storage. The main living spaces are designed to bring people together, from the dual-sided natural stone gas fireplace to the enormous family-room fireplace surrounded by custom built-ins. A fully integrated Sonos speaker system extends throughout the main level and exterior, creating the perfect backdrop for quiet evenings or lively gatherings. The private primary retreat offers a peaceful escape with plantation shutters, illuminated tray ceiling, separate his-and-hers walk-in closets, and a luxurious spa-inspired bath featuring heated floors, custom cabinetry and lighting, and an expansive walk-in shower. A dedicated fully equipped ADA accessible main-floor guest suite provides exceptional versatility and comfort. The custom mudroom with attached heated entry ramp and beautifully appointed laundry room deliver ease of access, storage and organization expected in a home of this caliber. A dedicated home gym provides a private space for wellness and fitness, with convenient access to the fenced backyard—an ideal setup for enjoying the outdoors, letting pets out, or creating a seamless indoor/outdoor lifestyle. Upstairs, a versatile flex room currently used as an art studio has its own full bath. Currently this space is an inspiring creative space but offers the flexibility to become a future third bedroom. This home truly redefines what an outdoor experience means. A covered bluestone interior patio complete with Phantom Screens offers a custom outdoor kitchen and dining area. The bluestone patio continues into the outdoor interior courtyard, creating an effortless extension of the home's living space. The private courtyard is a destination unto itself, featuring professionally designed lighting, heated bluestone, custom drainage engineered for snow, and plumbing/power already in place for a future hot tub. Beautiful landscaping, multi-zone exterior lighting, a gated circular driveway for abundant guest parking, and an additional parking pad enhance the estate's exceptional curb appeal. The 949-square-foot, three-stall finished garage is every bit as thoughtfully designed, with heated floors, polyaspartic flooring and a dedicated dog wash. A whole-house generator with automatic transfer, 400-amp electrical service, Control 4 home automation with expansion capability, custom gutters, extensive drainage systems, and additional lower-level and crawl-space storage provide the infrastructure and peace of mind rarely found in a home of this distinction. With approximately 4,621 square feet of above-grade living space, plus additional lower-level storage, this is more than a beautiful home—it is a carefully crafted private retreat designed to be enjoyed for generations. Come experience the light, the craftsmanship, the privacy, and the feeling of this extraordinary property in person. Some homes impress you in photographs. This stays with you long after you leave.
