Background/ Neighborhood Information
The current owners immediately fell in love with this corner parcel surrounded by towering maple trees on West Bay Lane when they searched for buildable lots in North Oaks. This bluff-top vantage of Pleasant Lake is one of the most coveted areas in North Oaks. The lot provides privacy and breathtaking views from every corner of the home. An added bonus: a breathtaking walking trail right outside the backyard. The “island” trail is about a mile and has easy access to the 5-mile Pleasant Lake trail loop.
The home was designed by Bruce Kading and built by award-winning builder, Bob Michels. Featuring high-quality materials and unmatched craftsmanship, fine attention to detail is highlighted in the light fixtures, windows, flooring, and stonework. The home was designed to seamlessly and beautifully blend into nature. Mindy Zittel designed the subtle, simple, low-maintenance landscaping.
