A rare Mid-Century Modern retreat designed by renowned architect John Howe, whose work was deeply influenced by his years with Frank Lloyd Wright. Privately nestled on nearly 3 acres, this distinctive home offers exceptional privacy with no neighbors to the rear, a beautiful setting abutting Pleasant Lake, and a private dock for enjoying the water. Thoughtfully maintained and enhanced by the current owners, including a new roof and numerous additional improvements, the home blends its remarkable architectural character with today's comfort and functionality. Walls of windows and warm architectural details create a wonderful connection to the surrounding landscape. The entire upper level is dedicated to the private primary suite, featuring its own balcony, an expansive walk-in closet and a spacious bath with dual vanities, soaking tub, large separate shower and private water closet. Inviting living and family rooms each offer a gas fireplace, while the walkout lower level is designed for entertaining with a media room, projector and screen, and wet bar. Outdoor living is equally impressive with an expansive deck and hot tub, large paver patio with a gas-connected bonfire table, landscaped pond and waterfall, and pergola area with both child and adult swings. Additional highlights include automated family room blinds, extensive lawn irrigation, whole-home generator and security system. A truly one-of-a-kind North Oaks property offering iconic architecture, remarkable privacy and an extraordinary connection to nature and Pleasant Lake.
