Property Description
Forest Hills Schools + GR Twp. | This one-of-a-kind Organic Modernist home was designed with intention into the hillside of a 1.4-Acre Lakefront lot, where architecture and nature intertwine on a quiet Whispering Pines cul-de-sac. Its inspiration came through a collaboration between Vintage Contemporary architect Randy Cooper and 30-year GVSU Art & Design professor Chester Alkema. The airy living area offers beautiful west-facing views and colorful sunsets through a wooded hillside overlooking crystal-clear, spring-fed, 50-foot-deep Perch Lake. The home sits above 97' of private frontage and a rustic beachhouse. Soaring beamed ceilings, a double-sided brick fireplace, a loft bedroom connected to a reading nook by an open bridgeway, and a two-story iron spiral staircase give the home its distinctive vintage character. The walkout level functions as a private suite with two bedrooms, a full kitchen, bath, second double-sided fireplace, and patio overlooking the woods and lake beyond.
