About This Home

228 74th Street

Hidden beyond a gated entrance and nestled into one of West Michigan's most coveted stretches of shoreline, this unrivaled enclave was brought to life by the renowned O'Connor Brehm Design-Build as an enduring expression of classic American coastal architecture. Defined by its elegant gambrel roofline and cedar shake exterior, every proportion feels purposeful, and every room is oriented toward the beauty of Lake Michigan. Beyond the architecture lies the property's greatest luxury. A private beach tram carries you from the bluff to a broad stretch of pristine sugar sand shoreline where the pace of life shifts. Shoes are forgotten. The sound of the waves replaces the noise of everyday life. Another spectacular sunset becomes the evening's only agenda. Beach chairs, coolers, and forgotten essentials travel effortlessly by carriage, leaving nothing to interrupt another perfect afternoon by the water. Just moments from the celebrated harbor, acclaimed restaurants, boutique shopping, galleries, and waterfront charm of South Haven, the estate offers an extraordinary balance of privacy and connection. Yet it is the quiet return home that defines life here. Interiors unfold with a rhythm that feels both polished and relaxed. The chef's kitchen becomes the heart of the home, appointed with Viking, Thermador, and Sub-Zero appliances, an oversized eat-in island. Afternoons drift leisurely to the back porch as lunch sizzles at the Viking grilling station and lake breezes move through Phantom screens. Here, entertaining becomes a way of life, where conversation outlasts dinner and every gathering seems reluctant to come to an end. Behind the scenes, thoughtful design extends far beyond the finishes. A private elevator connects every level, radiant in-floor heat extends throughout the residence, and every detail reflects a thoughtful commitment to comfort, longevity, and effortless living. The primary suite offers a peaceful retreat at day's end, complete with a sitting room, a spacious walk-in closet, dual vanities, a soaking tub, and an expansive tile shower. Additional guest bedrooms — including a charming bunk room — invite company to stay just a little longer. Crafted for every season, the lower level offers a destination all its own. It's where rainy afternoons become movie marathons, Sundays revolve around the biggest game of the season, and evenings are measured not by the hour, but by one last card game. Beyond, substantial unfinished square footage with an egress window offers exceptional flexibility for additional guest accommodations, a fitness studio, golf simulator, wine cellar, or whatever the years ahead may inspire. This extraordinary waterfront estate begins with 100 feet of private frontage and presents an opportunity seldom found along the lakeshore today. Also available is the adjoining 2.71-acre parcel with an additional 200 feet of private shoreline, creating the potential for 300 total feet of Lake Michigan frontage and over four acres of land. Whether preserved as an extraordinary measure of privacy, transformed into guest quarters, a pool and pool house, or expansive lawns where generations gather for summer celebrations and evenings beneath the stars, it is an opportunity to create a waterfront compound of lasting significance. The combined offering is available for $5,965,000. Distinguished by its architectural pedigree, uncompromising craftsmanship, and an irreplaceable stretch of Lake Michigan shoreline, this is a property that transcends the ordinary measure of luxury. It is a place of enduring significance—one that will be cherished today, admired tomorrow, and entrusted to generations yet to come.
