Along the water’s edge in Macatawa’s coveted Point West, this nearly new five-story condo frames sweeping views of both Lake Michigan and Lake Macatawa. Inside, a warm, inviting ambiance carries through a meticulously designed layout where a luxury kitchen—with a large center island—opens seamlessly to the living and dining areas, extending outdoors to decking for easy indoor-outdoor flow. Four bedrooms and three full plus two half baths support everyday comfort, while an elevator connects each level with effortless ease. The fifth floor is dedicated to both indoor and outdoor living areas, creating a natural setting for entertaining, watching sunsets, or settling in for a quiet moment above the tranquil surroundings. Set within a gated community, the home also benefits from new blinds, new closet organizers, and additional recent improvements.

Along the water’s edge in St. Joseph, this landmark began life in 1876 as the “Coast Guard St. Joseph and Life-Saving Station,” one of only nine stations serving the Great Lakes.

Six bedrooms and four full baths include two main-floor en-suite primary retreats, offering rare flexibility for guests or multi-generational living. The gourmet kitchen features high-end finishes and thoughtful design, equally suited to entertaining and quiet waterfront mornings.

An outdoor fireplace anchors open-air entertaining, while a private half-court brings an easy, everyday playfulness to the setting. Inside, the mood shifts to boutique-hotel comfort: a golf simulator, a cinema-style theater, and a sleek full-service bar that reads like a private lounge. The chef’s kitchen is centered by a statement waterfall island, complemented by premium finishes throughout.
