Discover the ultimate lakefront retreat on the pristine shores of Lake Chapin. Custom built in 2016 as the builder's own home, this exceptional 5-bedroom, 4-bath, over 4,000 sq ft residence offers the rare combination of quality craftsmanship, dramatic design, and an unbeatable all-sports waterfront setting. With expansive lake views, 70 feet of frontage, a new deck at the water's edge, newer dock with boat lift, and private access to endless boating, jet skiing, fishing, and water recreation, this is a property designed to make the most of every season. Inside, the home is both striking and welcoming, centered around a dramatic two-story living area with soaring ceilings, a wall of windows overlooking the lake, and a stunning floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace. The open kitchen is equally impressive, featuring quartz countertops, a large island, walk-in pantry, under-cabinet lighting, a 6-burner double convection oven, and a signature copper range hood. A large second-story loft area overlooks the main living space and captures expansive lake views, offering the perfect setting for a den, library, lounge, or additional gathering space. Multiple living areas throughout the home provide room to gather, entertain, and unwind, while the screened 3-season room offers a spectacular setting to enjoy the water view beside a second stone gas fireplace. The main-floor primary suite is a peaceful private retreat with beautiful lake views, a spa-like bath with walk in closet, soaking tub, and tiled walk in shower. Main-floor laundry with large "drop zone" area and custom brick floor, spacious secondary bedrooms, and beautifully designed baths add comfort and custom touches to the thoughtful layout. The newly finished lower level expands the living space even further, featuring a bedroom with a large walk-in closet, spacious family room and game areas, a designated fitness room with flooring and mirrors, and a newly added half bath. Exceptional storage space includes built-ins and a large storage room with professionally coated floor. Outside, every detail supports effortless lake living, from the covered porch and screened room to the stairs leading down to the lake and the impressive 16' x 20' waterfront deck. Additional amenities include a storage shed, Generac generator, tankless on-demand water heater, halo UV light on the furnace, two furnaces serving separate sides of the home, and durable metal siding and roof. Ideally located close to downtown Berriien Springs, many great wineries, and just 12 miles from the beaches, shops, dining, and charm of Saint Joseph. Within easy reach of South Haven, Saugatuck, Union Pier, Notre Dame, and just 90 minutes from Chicago, this remarkable home offers a rare opportunity to enjoy luxury lakefront living in one of Southwest Michigan's most desirable and accessible waterfront settings.
