A private elevator opens directly into an elegant vestibule framed by glass-paneled French doors. From there, a gracious 36' gallery leads into the main living space, an ideal showcase for art collectors. The 42' entertaining span includes a formal living room, a fireside den, and a refined dining room, all overlooking the blue horizon of Lake Michigan. The chef's kitchen blends style and function with unique design moments throughout.
