About This Home

All Sports Upper Straits Lakefront situated directly in front of the Orchard Lake Country Club, this exceptional estate spans over two acres and delivers a rare blend of newer construction, timeless architecture, and true resort-style living. A grand foyer with a sweeping Cinderella staircase introduces interiors defined by scale and elegance, featuring formal living and dining rooms, a fireside family room, and multiple gathering spaces designed for both entertaining and everyday comfort. The chef’s kitchen is thoughtfully designed with dual built-in refrigerators, custom cabinetry, premium stone surfaces, an oversized island, and a Miele coffee station, all opening seamlessly to a breakfast area and expansive deck with panoramic lake views. The second-floor primary suite offers a private retreat with breathtaking water views, a sitting room with fireplace and wet bar, spa-like bath, and its own private laundry. Additional bedrooms across the second and third levels provide flexible living arrangements, including a desirable first-floor ensuite. The walkout lower level is built for year-round enjoyment, featuring a fireside great room, game area, full spa with sauna and showers, and an impressive indoor pool with jacuzzi. Outdoors, manicured grounds, a brick paver terrace, maintenance-free decking, and private dock access complete the lakefront experience. Additional highlights include two elevators, central vacuum, surround sound, full smart home integration, and brand new appliances throughout. The home has not been occupied since completion, offering a truly move-in-ready, like-new experience. A rare opportunity to own a lakefront estate in one of Oakland County’s most prestigious locations. B.A.T.V.A.I. Disclaimer: Original structure built in 1991.
