Originally designed in 1956 by architect Winston Elting, this remarkable Lake Michigan residence was thoughtfully renovated to preserve the integrity of its mid-century modern architecture while enhancing it for contemporary living. Set on a secluded wooded site overlooking the lake, the home's simple rectangular form, expansive glass walls, warm wood interiors, and intimate courtyards remain true to Elting's original vision of connecting architecture with nature. The renovation carefully honored the home's clean lines, original materials, and transparent relationship with the surrounding landscape, allowing breathtaking views of Lake Michigan to remain the focal point of every primary living space.

Rather than creating a period restoration, the renovation introduced refined, modern updates that complement the home's architectural heritage. A beautifully reimagined kitchen, restored custom millwork, thoughtfully selected natural materials, and understated contemporary finishes bring new life to the home without compromising its timeless character. Original features—including the iconic Chicago brick fireplace, built-in seating, and indoor-outdoor connections—were carefully preserved, while subtle design enhancements improve comfort and functionality for modern living. The result is a sophisticated lakeside retreat that celebrates the enduring beauty of Winston Elting's design while creating a peaceful, welcoming retreat.
