As seen in Crain's and The Detroit News, and proudly boasting an updated roof, newer siding, windows, and mechanicals, including three brand new AC units (08/11), there's nothing left to do but move in and enjoy the remaining days of summer. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to own a private island in one of Michigan's most exclusive lake communities. With a local reputation of prestige and mystique, Lake Sherwood is one of Oakland County's only truly private, all sports lakes. This 1.6-acre legacy parcel is tucked at the end of a cul-de-sac, and enjoys 1,500+ feet of prime waterfront and, without its long and elegant tree lined driveway, would be entirely surrounded by pristine waters. The island is improved by an architectural masterpiece, a timeless home designed for a buyer that understands its place as the pride of the lake. With its plethora of natural sunlight, rustic stone fireplaces complete with imported limestone mantles, WOLF appliances, and lustrous white maple hardwood flooring, this home is truly a masterpiece. The fluid layout, and extremely thoughtful features offer the highest degree of functionality for any lifestyle; ultimate control and privacy is one of the many benefits this property offers. The spacious terrace overlooking the resort style pool complete with a breathtaking lake view sits just steps away from the Northern Michigan grown cedar docks that your grandchildren will walk on, which offer permanent docking solutions for your boats. Every part of the property offers jaw dropping lake views, including the towering outdoor fireplace just off the pool. Complete with spacious and well-manicured rolling grounds fit for a tennis court, an additional structure, or whatever else you decide to feature, this incredible estate is an asset to enjoy and design a lifestyle around. Minutes from Milford, a short drive to Detroit, DTW airport, Northville, Brighton, etc, this home offers an "up north" feel while being close to everything.
