About the Home

Nestled on over an acre within the coveted Salem Straits Association, this picturesque Colonial exudes warmth and elegance. Renovated by Fox Hill Builders in 2021, with a new wood cedar roof, this home showcases exquisite details and a seamless layout. The foyer leads to a welcoming living room with fireplace and a generously sized dining room, ideal for hosting gatherings. The gourmet kitchen, complete with high-end appliances, marble countertops, and a wet bar, is a culinary enthusiast's dream. An inviting family room with a vaulted ceiling, a breakfast nook, and a cozy library with fireplace complete the main level. Upstairs, you'll find five spacious bedrooms. The primary suite is a true sanctuary, featuring a luxurious marble bathroom with a soaking tub, a walk-in closet, and a fireplace. Four additional bedrooms and a bonus room round out the second level. For you design lovers, renowned Michigan designer Mark Manardo sprinkled the house with his magic including all Schumacher wallpaper. The outdoor space is nothing short of exceptional, with blue stone patios featuring a gorgeous, stone fireplace. Embrace the coastal lifestyle of the Salem Straights Association with a private beach & boat slips.
