About 1223 Ash Drive

Stunning contemporary home called ''Goodnest'' with separate guest house on double creekside lot one short block to the Sylvan Shores Lake Michigan private beach and park or to tennis court and community garden. Located midway between Saugatuck & South Haven, this architect-designed showcase home was completely rebuilt in 2014 with top quality materials, finished with designer interiors and looks like new. You really must get inside to see this exclusive home with guest house studio and its surroundings. This is one of the finest homes I've ever represented. The huge deck off the main home is a unique and masterfully engineered structure with a large outdoor fire feature and artistic custom iron railings overlooking the gorgeous woodland surroundings. The guest house, built in 1998, is outfitted with two offices/guest rooms, full bath, galley kitchen, dining area and facilities for lower-level work shop. Bluestone walkways and lush landscaping surround both structures. In the main house, you'll delight in the gourmet's kitchen designed by Kitchen West with dumbwaiter for your wine collection to go from the lower-level wine cellar to kitchen area. Large center island, wet bar, a garden window, lit cabinets, and hidden outlets, ice maker, and top-quality appliances. The outdoor smoker and grill off the kitchen area are included. This home features beautiful French oak flooring, a 2-story bluestone gas fireplace in living room and a peaceful sunroom. The spacious carpeted main floor master suite includes an office nook, a fireside seating area and a gorgeous stone-tiled bath with bubbler soaking tub and separate shower. Upstairs are 2 large en suite guest rooms, spacious reading loft and large storage room. You'll appreciate the many details in this home like the interior railings on stairways and loft that reflect the ironwork outside, the spacious screened porch, fully equipped lower-level exercise room, a backup generator, epoxied garage floors, loads of nice storage, security system and a petrified wood vessel sink in powder room. Being sold largely turnkey with newer furniture, much of which is custom designed. This home offers an alternative to being right on the lake but with all the benefits of Lake Michigan beach and sunset views without the harsh winds or erosion concerns of lakefront property.
