About This Home

Perched atop 9.53 picturesque acres overlooking a serene valley and the charming city of Frankfort, this beautifully crafted 3,122 square foot custom home (built in 1997) offers privacy, space, and breathtaking views in every season. Featuring 3 bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms, this thoughtfully designed home blends quality craftsmanship with everyday comfort. Rich hardwood floors and Andersen windows fill the interior with natural light while framing the surrounding hillside landscape. The spacious layout offers generous living and entertaining areas, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. The large walkout basement expands the home’s versatility, complete with a kitchenette, additional bedroom, and full bathroom — ideal for guests, multi-generational living, or private retreat space. Step outside onto the expansive deck and take in Lake Michigan views — perfect for morning coffee or sunset evenings. A 2-car attached garage adds convenience, while the impressive 40x45 pole barn provides exceptional space for storage, recreational equipment, hobbies, or workshop needs.
