Most people get go on vacation 2 - 4 weeks per year and spend the rest of the year thinking about the where and when of their next “escape”. If you live in The Home at Beechwood Shores on Lake Michigan, you can still go on vacation but the summer will certainly not be when you leave!
The Home at Beechwood Shores, located just north of Muskegon, Michigan, was designed to allow you to enjoy all that Lake Michigan has to offer in every season; cool breezes in the Summer are the standard (the central air conditioning system is seldom required) and in the Fall, the lake keeps temperatures warmer than they are inland. Often, the last colorful leaves to drop are on the shoreline’s trees surrounding this home. Spring is amazing as the days grow longer and the flowers begin to appear and even Winter brings it's own form of beauty onto the scene; icebergs on the horizon and some of the more spectacular sunsets you'll ever witness.
Do you want to have a bonfire and roast marshmallows for “S’mores”? There’s a fire pit in the backyard or another down on the beach. Entertain in the spacious back yard and dine on the expansive rear deck. Go for a swim in the crystal clear water or take a walk along the shoreline - it’s just down your private stairs to the beach. And don’t forget the sunsets; in our opinion, they’re better than we’ve seen anywhere else in the world!
Built in 1997, this 5 bedroom, 5 bath (4 full, 1 half) home is perfectly suited for Lake Michigan living in every season. 115’ of private beach frontage (plus 20’ of private Association access) ensure that you will enjoy your location to its fullest. Cool summer breezes, beautiful sunsets and a quiet and secluded location make this the perfect place to live.A wise person once told me that beachfront property was a finite resource - there will be no more Lake Michigan frontage added to what currently exists - so its value only increases over time. For that reason, a home on Lake Michigan is one of the rarest of all investments - something you get to enjoy every single day you live in it while it increases in value over time.
West Michigan’s status as a “hidden treasure’ has begun to change. With its proximity to a soon-to-be revitalized Muskegon, Grand Rapids within an easy drive as well as Grand Haven or Whitehall for a quaint change of pace - there’s a pleasant distance from civilization that can be enjoyed without feeling isolated. The Home at Beechwood Shores provides you and your family with a great place to "tune out" the hectic pace and stress of our modern lifestyle while you “tune in” to the incredible beauty that each and every season provides!
The Home at Beechwood Shores is not just a "showcase" house; it was built to be lived in and enjoyed with friends and family - in every season. Large thermopane windows (there are 7 sets of bay windows) and expansive sliding doors (in the Master Bedroom, Living Room and Kitchen) overlook the manicured back yard and Lake Michigan. There is abundant light and air in every room of the house; even in the middle of the summer, the cool Lake Michigan breezes guarantee that you will seldom need to turn on the air conditioning. There’s a gas log fireplace to warm up to in the Fall and Winter and ceiling fans in every room add to the comfort.The skylights (which open) in the Kitchen & Master Bedroom, a mini-porch off the Office and many other features allow you to “bring the outside in” when you want to but keep it outside when necessary. On more than a few nights, you can fall asleep to the sound of the waves on the shore just a few yards away.
First home, second home or retirement home - if living on Lake Michigan has been your dream - you need to make an appointment to see The Home at Beechwood Shores.
