Property Description
Discover a riverfront sanctuary where modern design meets timeless artistry. Sculpted into 0.61 lush, river-kissed acres, this Frank Lloyd Wright-inspired masterpiece blurs the line between art and refuge. Clean horizontal lines, dramatic cantilevers, and walls of glass frame hypnotic views of the St. Joseph River, pulling shimmering water and sunset colors into every gathering space. Inside, four generously scaled bedrooms and 3.5 baths celebrate organic luxury. An open chef's kitchen anchors the main level with pro-grade appliances and a hidden pantry, while the fire-placed great room spills onto a porch crafted for year-round stargazing. Wake in the primary suite to songbirds dancing across the water, then melt into a spa shower. Launch kayaks from your private bank, host friends on the riverside terrace, and return to a home that feels alive with light, wood, and water. Ready to live the river dream? Book your private showing today before this architectural jewel flows away.
