Overlooking Lake Michigan, enjoy peaceful privacy atop the highest point in Forest Beach Estates.

Quality construction by Norm Zielke Builders, with an artfully crafted fieldstone fireplace that extends through all three floors. The dramatic stonework serves as the focal point of the two-story living room. The main floor features a primary bedroom suite with a study, screened room, covered porch, and generous kitchen with lakeside dining area.
