Situated on nearly an acre with an impressive 350 feet of prime Thornapple River frontage, this custom-built riverfront home transformed an aging property into a modern family retreat. The project began with the complete demolition of an 1875 farmhouse that no longer met the needs of its owners, creating an opportunity to reimagine both the home and the landscape. Designed to maximize sweeping river views, the new residence features expansive windows, light-filled living spaces, and seamless indoor-outdoor connections. A comprehensive site redevelopment dramatically improved access to the water, replacing overgrown and underutilized areas with thoughtfully designed landscaping, terraced outdoor living spaces, and inviting pathways to the river's edge. The result is a timeless yet contemporary home that celebrates its remarkable waterfront setting while providing the comfort, functionality, and gathering spaces today's families desire.
