Perfect Midcentury Lake House Makes A Splash At $449,900

HARRISON TOWNSHIP, MI -- Built in 1954, this extensively remodeled ranch practically screams midcentury charm. Located directly on Lake St. Clair at 39352 Lakeshore Dr, Harrison Township, this 3-bedroom, 2-bath house packs nearly infinite "Wow" into its 1676 square feet. The house has hardwood floors and nearly every room has at least one wall of windows overlooking the lake. The renovations include a beautiful custom kitchen. The space features a wall of open shelving in a warm maple, anchored by an austere subway tile backsplash. The kitchen has white marble counters, a built-in range, stainless steel appliances and a deep apron-front sink. There's a breakfast room with a pretty custom light that recalls Japanese lanterns. The kitchen is fully open to the family room, an inviting space with a fireplace with a simple maple mantel set in a full wall white-painted brick surround.

Each of the three bedrooms in this house has ben designed cleverly to make the most of limited space. The master bedroom is large. There's an en suite bath with a large steam shower and double vanities. The second bedroom, currently in use as a baby's room, has a full wall of stacked awning windows, bringing in lots of light. The third bedroom does very smart triple duty. There are cozy, ship-like custom built-in bunk beds for guests, a seating area for TV watching, and room for a large desk, so it's a home office, guest room and hang out space.

Outside, there's a large brick patio. This house is so pretty and charming, you almost forget you're right on top of the lake, but there are many nice items here to remind you, like 16,000 lb covered boat lift and dock. The house has 200 feet of frontage on Lake St. Clair, and a 2-car attached garage with a workshop and storage loft perfect for lake toys. The fenced backyard helps keep little ones a safe distance from the water, and there's even an electronic doggy door. While the current homeowners' very cute dogs make give the listing photos even more charm, they're probably not included with the home. That's okay - there are more than enough other amenities to make up for it.
