Spring Lake, MI

Exquisite family home on Spring Lake’s north shore.

O

n Spring Lake, the summer sun prompts the hum of

Jet Skis, the melodies of country tunes emanating

from the nearby raft-ups and the cheerful shrieks of kids

kayaking near shore. There’s never a dull day on this

lively West Michigan lake. Yet homeowner Jean Snowden

discovered a haven away from all the boat traffic on the

northern tip of the lake,

“I always wanted to live on the lake and I wanted to

have a boat right outside my house, so when this property

became available, we grabbed it,” says Snowden. “It’s a

very nice lake to live on.”

Offering floor-to-ceiling windows, an open concept layout,

a recently remodeled kitchen and a dreamy sunroom, this

five-bedroom home is the ideal venue for spending quality

family time and entertaining guests. Play a game of pool in

the game room, complete with a wetbar and island, or taste

a vintage bottle of Pinot Noir in the temperature-controlled

wine cellar. If your guests are craving to watch a movie, enter

the home’s very own movie theater, outfitted with reclining

chairs and a “Hollywood and Vine” intersection sign.

But Snowden prefers a more tranquil room.

“My favorite part of the home is the sunroom, where I

can sit in the morning and drink coffee while watching the

sunrise over the lake,” she says.

Watch the chef slice and dice on the spacious butcher

block island from the comfort of the sunroom. The kitchen

features brand-new custom cabinetry and stunning cherry

wood floors. A second-floor catwalk overlooks the kitchen

and has sightlines to the lake.

“When most people walk in they will say the home

feels very warm and inviting,” Snowden says. “I’ve been

in houses that are just cold because they’re so big, but this

is a really nice family home.”

With two levels of outdoor entertaining, there’s more

than enough room for a large Fourth of July get-together.

Grill some burgers on the patio, play a game of tag football

on the expansive lawn, or descend the short walkway down

to the lakeside patio and deep-water dock to enjoy all that

Spring Lake has to offer. Launch the boat, turn on the

country music and head out to Lake Michigan. ★
