2488 Cedar West Drive

Welcome to 2488 Cedar West Drive in Cedar Lake Estates--a truly standout, custom-built home that blends a rare 7-bedroom layout with exceptional indoor-outdoor living in a setting that feels like a private retreat. The headline feature is lifestyle: this property sits on Willow Lake, a small private lake perfect for fishing, kayaking, canoeing, and even winter skating--with the kind of backyard experience that instantly elevates showings from 'nice house' to 'we can't stop thinking about it.' The outdoor setup is built for connection and memory-making. Enjoy a deck overlooking the water, a stone fire pit for long evenings under the stars, and a bridge leading to the wooded back section--ideal for camping, exploring, and nature lovers who want space to breathe. Established landscaping, mature trees, and underground sprinkling create a lush, park-like feel, while a waterfront deck and private dock make lake life effortless. Add in whole-house audio and outdoor speakers, and you've got a property that hosts exceptionally well--without needing a single "project list" before summer. Inside, the layout is expansive, functional, and designed for real life--large households, multi-generational living, and entertaining without compromise. The great room is anchored by a beautiful stone fireplace that delivers the cozy factor (with gas hook-up option). The kitchen is a true command center with a large island, abundant cabinetry, and a spacious walk-in pantry--built for daily rhythm and big gatherings alike. A main-floor office/den gives you a dedicated space to work, study, or create separation when you need it. The main-floor primary suite is a true retreat with a spacious bath featuring a large walk-in shower designed for two (dual shower heads) and an oversized walk-in closet. You'll also appreciate the systems that make the home run smoothly: main-floor laundry, a mudroom with built-in lockers, and a technology cabinet for charging and organization. Upstairs, you'll find five large bedrooms, each with its own walk-in closet, plus two full bathrooms--a rare combination that supports busy households with ease. Comfort is dialed in with zoned heating and cooling and an attic fan. The finished walkout lower level adds even more flexibility with a massive family/recreation space, a bedroom, a full bath, and ample storage--ideal for guests, extended family, a home gym, or the ultimate hangout space. The walkout design opens directly to outdoor living areas and lake views, keeping that "retreat feel" present on every level. In addition to the three-stall attached garage (fully insulated and plumbed with natural gas for a future heater, plus hot/cold water and a compressed air line), there's an additional lower-level garage stall--perfect for a workshop, lake gear, yard equipment, and toys. Location rounds out the value: you're minutes from parks, trails, schools, shopping, and dining, with the added benefit of school choice--Jenison or Hudsonville--both highly regarded. And when the weekend calls, you're within an easy drive to Holland, Grand Haven, and the Lake Michigan shoreline. This is the kind of home that doesn't just check boxes--it creates a lifestyle. Space, flexibility, condition, and a private-lake backyard that people remember. Must-see. Truly stands apart.
