Welcome to this exceptional soft contemporary on a beautiful .5 acre lot on Ella Lane, a quiet
seven-home street in a prime location. This is a home that has been meticulously cared for . . . and it shows! Picture windows abound, allowing you to take in the beautifully landscaped backyard from several vantage points, while also allowing in abundant natural light. Contemporary, but also cozy, this feels like a home—not just a house—the moment you walk in!
The foyer invites you into a very open floor plan, with the gourmet kitchen, great room, and dining room all open and accessible to one another, creating an ideal set-up for entertaining. High ceilings and newly installed wide plank hardwood floors add to the allure and classiness of the home. Stunning, but comfortable and casual at the same time.
But that’s not all! The main floor also includes a spacious primary suite with fireplace, a closed cabinet for your TV, and more picture windows to take in the serenity of the backyard. The primary is topped off with a sumptuous bath, complete with a powerful Jacuzzi, double sinks, and a generous number of cabinets and drawers.
The four season porch on the other end of the first floor will both wow and captivate. It is your cabin “up north,” but a hallway away—no need to gas up the car or change out of your robe and slippers! The main floor also boasts a large mud room before entering the three car garage, which offers extensive storage opportunities. A large upper deck runs the length of the great room and porch and looks over a generously sized patio below, with plenty of room for tables and lounge chairs . . . all around the beautifully maintained pool.
And there’s more! The lower level is no less inviting than its upper counterpart. The large main room is perfect for entertaining with its built in bar, game table area, setup for large screen viewing, and walk out to the pool. The layout includes four individual bedrooms, one of which currently serves as an exercise room, another as an office. And storage will not be a problem here! A beautiful indoor storage room built with shelves for your holiday décor, luggage, patio cushions . . . and excellent built ins—three large floor to ceiling cabinets that give you ample space for everything else. Outside is an outdoor storage facility for all of your pool and backyard needs. Laundry and the mechanical room round off this well designed and well appointed lower level.
Too good to be true? Not in this case! The location, the design, the inner and outer style, the low maintenance yet beautiful yard that surrounds it—you can truly have it all! Private, quiet, minutes away from the shops you need, with easy access to the major thoroughfares . . . a rare opportunity, indeed!

This exceptionally maintained 4BR, 4BA boasts more than 4,600 square feet as well as breathtaking views of the river valley. Stepping inside 42 Kenwood’s living room, your eyes are immediately drawn to the graceful bow windows looking over the bluff. Don’t miss the space’s historical details, such as the original rounded front door and window frames (updated most recently with Marvin Ultimate windows), classic newel posts, and warm wood floors that reflect the building's original 1912 craftsmanship. The custom kitchen is both beautiful and functional, with dual dishwashers, dual ovens, panel front refrigerator, and a charming eat-in dining area with banquette seating. Just past the stylish powder room, the formal dining room includes both original built-in cabinetry as well as a handcrafted buffet with a beverage refrigerator and ice maker. Completing the main level is the family room, with rich wood bookshelves and paneling throughout. With windows on three sides, doors out to the patio, and even a hidden closet, this is sure to be a favorite. Upstairs, the luxurious primary suite features a sunny bedroom, cozy sitting room with a fireplace, decadent bath, and expansive walk-in closet. Making up the rest of the second floor is three additional spacious bedrooms and a beautifully appointed hall bath. The third level offers a versatile game room and full bath, providing flexible living space for kids, guests, etc. Perhaps the home's standout feature is its spectacular outdoor living area.

Set on 219' of shoreline along the striking blue-green waters of Thunder Lake, this property captures the kind of Northwoods living you come here for, with quiet mornings, evenings by the fire, and spaces designed to be enjoyed in every season. The home immediately feels grounded and inviting, with natural wood, stone, and carefully selected finishes creating a sense of warmth that carries throughout. The main living area centers around a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace, where a custom copper and wood mantel add both character and presence. Just off the living space, a three-season porch offers a place you will find yourself returning to again and again, with windows that open to the sounds of the lake and a comfortable spot for morning coffee or winding down at the end of the day, giving you a front-row seat to the lake without leaving the comfort of the home. The kitchen is designed for gathering, highlighted by a beautiful granite island supported by custom corbels that give it a furniture-quality presence, with seating that invites people to linger. The large dining area offers space for a full table, making it easy to host family and friends with everything comfortably connected. A hammered copper farmhouse sink, bold tile backsplash, and high-end appliances round out the space, creating a kitchen that feels both inviting and distinctly custom. Throughout the main level, the details continue to stand out, from the rich wood flooring to the lighting and finishes that tie each space together. A dedicated office provides a quiet place to work, while even the powder room carries its own moment with a statement stone vanity, hammered sink, and custom mirror. The main-level primary suite provides a comfortable retreat, with warm tones and a relaxed feel that makes it easy to settle in. The en suite bath is thoughtfully finished with dual vanities, granite surfaces, custom cabinetry, and a walk-in tile shower. Underfoot, a blend of tile and stone adds texture while staying true to the home’s overall design. Upstairs, the home opens into a loft-style sitting area beneath a wood-lined ceiling, creating a natural place to unwind. Two additional bedrooms and a full bath offer inviting space for guests. The walkout lower level adds a large family room designed for entertaining, with plenty of space for game tables and a comfortable sitting area anchored by a fireplace, creating a second living space that feels just as inviting as the main level. An additional bedroom and bathroom make it well suited for hosting or creating a separate guest area. One of the more unexpected features is the attached garage, finished with custom woodwork and an epoxy floor, creating a space that goes well beyond storage. With a defined sitting area and a clean, polished feel, it functions as a true extension of the home and is equally suited for entertaining, working, or simply gathering when you need a little extra room. In addition to the attached space, a detached garage offers even more room for lake gear, recreational equipment, or workshop use. Outside the setting continues to deliver. A spacious lakeside deck provides the perfect place to take in the view, entertain, or simply spend time outdoors, while a separate lakeside perch offers a more tucked away spot to sit closer to the water and enjoy the quiet. It is the kind of detail that gives you options, whether you prefer sun or shade, gathering or solitude. Two approaches lead you to the shoreline. Stone steps with a custom railing create a direct and scenic path, while a gravel trail allows for easier access by foot or four wheeler. A whole house generator adds an extra layer of comfort and peace of mind, allowing you to enjoy the property year round without interruption. This is a property that does not rely on one feature. It is the way everything comes together. The setting, the materials, and the layout all work in harmony to create a place that feels easy to live in and hard to leave.
