Extraordinary Lake Winans ranch offering 140 feet of private frontage on one of Hamburg Township's highly sought-after no-motor lakes. This expansive 2,900 sq ft home combines rare scale, flexible living space, and distinctive architectural character that is increasingly difficult to find in lakefront properties today.

Designed with accessibility in mind, the main floor lives comfortably as a fully functional ranch with 3 bedrooms, 2 full baths, hardwood floors, tile flooring, and spacious gathering areas overlooking the water. One of the first-floor bedrooms connects to a window-lined sunroom currently used as an office, creating an ideal guest suite, studio, or work-from-home retreat.

The home's personality truly sets it apart. Two original dumbwaiters connect levels of the home, adding both charm and practicality. Upstairs, a massive bunkhouse-style room with oversized closet space and built-in dresser cabinetry salvaged from the home's original 1950s construction creates an unforgettable gathering and sleeping space.

The finished walkout lower level includes two additional bedrooms with large daylight windows, a full bath, and one of the property's most unique features: a separate-entry "Captain's Quarters" inspired by old-world sailing ships, creating a warm, richly detailed space unlike anything found in typical lake homes.

Outside, the property includes a 3-car attached garage plus a detached workshop garage with loft storage. While the kitchen and bathrooms could benefit from updating, the home's size, craftsmanship, layout, accessibility, garage capacity, and exceptional lake frontage create a rare opportunity to personalize a truly one-of-a-kind waterfront property. Renovated homes of similar caliber and lake presence in the area have achieved substantially higher values.
