4 Bedrooms Single Family Detached

Never before offered for sale, this custom-built lakeshore estate was designed by Harry S. ”Hal” Driggs Jr., a Northwest Indiana architect whose distinctive residential work can be found along the Lake Michigan shoreline. Built by the current owners and meticulously maintained, this is a rare opportunity to own an architectural original in one of the area’s most desirable lake communities. Set on two separately platted lots totaling approximately 0.37 acre, the property is tucked into the dune with exceptional privacy, yet sits just steps from Beach Stop 9. The main house offers 4 bedrooms, 3 full baths, an expansive front deck capturing sweeping views of Lake Michigan, plus additional lake views from within the home and throughout the property. A separate coach/pool house adds exceptional flexibility, complete with a full kitchen, bathroom with steam shower, second laundry area, air conditioning, and additional living and sleeping space ideal for guests, extended family, entertaining, or a studio. Outside, a mature English-style garden filled with abundant flowering plants and established landscaping creates a serene setting for outdoor living. At its center is a heated 20’ x 40’ gunite swimming pool with a built-in cover, approximately 61/2-foot deep end, and three cascading waterfalls. The pool and surrounding outdoor living spaces also enjoy views toward Lake Michigan, creating a setting that feels more reminiscent of a European resort than the Indiana dunes. Another rarity this close to Lake Michigan is the amount of off-street parking. The driveway accessed from Dune Lane accommodates five vehicles in addition to the 2-car garage. Architectural character, two separately platted lots, Lake Michigan views, a separate coach house, resort-style pool and gardens, generous parking, and extraordinary proximity to the beach come together in a truly uncommon property. Created and enjoyed by the same family since it was built.
