5 Luxury Michigan Homes from Riverfront to Lake Huron Shores

Along the Kalamazoo River in Saugatuck, this rare double-lot property pairs a fully remodeled main residence on the water side of quiet Park Street with an updated guest cottage just across the way. One of the few along the river and lake with two deep-water docks, it offers an easy connection to the shoreline with few stairs from the walkout lower level. A renovation completed about two years ago brought new electrical, new windows, solid wood doors, and electronic blinds throughout. The main level is thoughtfully arranged with two bedrooms, one bath, laundry, solid maple flooring, and accessible wide doorways. In the new kitchen, stainless steel appliances include a Sub-Zero refrigerator freezer and Wolf induction range, oven, and dishwasher. Downstairs, a full kitchenette and secondary laundry hookup add flexibility, while the upper level provides a private ensuite bedroom, full bath, and readiness for a future waterfront balcony. Short-term rentals are permitted with a STR license.
