Lake House In The Woods Asks $485,999

OXFORD, MI -- Located down a private road deep in the woods, this custom-built home on a semi-private lake gives you the Up North experience less than an hour from downtown Detroit. Situated on over ten acres of property, the house makes a statement with its warm wood framing and steeply pitched roof. While the property itself is stunning - the woods, lake and long drive make the house feel secluded and cozy and deeply immersed in wilderness - the interiors are comfortable, comfortably modern and perfect for a growing family. On the main level, there's a large great room with a full wall of windows overlooking the water. The great room's double-sided, 2-story fireplace commands the space with its stone front and large, deep mantle. The fireplace leads to the dining room, and a large, updated kitchen with a butcher block island, custom cabinetry, built-in display space, stainless steel appliances, and granite countertops.

Upstairs, the bedrooms are large and two of them offer an intriguing feature - they have loft spaces accessed by wooden staircases that add whimsey, not to mention the opportunity for crafting, office or homework spaces. The master bedroom has an en suite bath, walk-in closet and a private balcony overlooking the trees and lake. There's also a hook-up for a sauna in this space, so you'll have the rare opportunity of taking a very good master bath and turning it into your own treetop spa. The home also has a finished lower level with a wine cellar and storage space. For additional living and entertaining space, the property comes with a very special feature: there's a 80x40 pole barn with a full kitchen and half bath, perfect for a home office, or as a very private in-law studio.
