About this home

Nestled atop a wooded dune in the intimate community of Dune Acres, just one hour from downtown Chicago, 44 Circle Drive presents a rare opportunity to own a fully reimagined piece of Lake Michigan's most coveted shoreline. Built in 1946 and thoughtfully transformed by its current owners, this iconic hillside ranch has been meticulously updated while preserving its original character. Arrive to a freshly landscaped exterior where new custom fencing and a stone patio create generous outdoor living space, perfectly positioned to capture sweeping lake views. Step inside and Lake Michigan immediately takes center stage. The living room offers unobstructed water views through new Andersen windows, framed by refinished redwood walls, exposed beams, vaulted ceilings, and a dramatic stone fireplace. The primary bedroom and library carry those same captivating views, making even the quietest moments feel connected to the shoreline. The fully remodeled kitchen flows naturally from the living space and features Sub-Zero and Fulgor Milano appliances along with a granite composite sink, equally suited for a quiet morning coffee or a full weekend of entertaining. Three bedrooms, a dedicated office, two updated baths, and a renovated sunroom complete a warm, finished interior, all set within the privacy of the dune and the surrounding natural landscape. Access the beach via private stairs, or the recently installed community beach stairs just steps away. This is lake life at its finest....
