A House That Literally Moved for Love
Okay, old-house lovers, brace yourselves because this story is wild! This 1890 masterpiece, known as the Samuel Field Mansion, is so loved that a previous owner back in 1926 literally took it apart piece by piece, numbered every single brick and board, and moved it three miles north just to save it from being torn down. Talk about dedication! If you think moving a couch up the stairs is hard, imagine moving an entire 8,500-square-foot castle.
The Ultimate Private Lakefront
The absolute best part of this incredible property is the mind-blowing yard. The current owners bought up the land next door to recreate the mansion’s original historic grounds. Now, you get nearly four acres of pure bliss right on North Lake Drive. Even better, you get 259 feet of your very own private Lake Michigan beachfront. You can watch the waves crash from your windows and pretend you are the ruler of your own private historic island.
Grand History Meets Modern Love
Inside, the craftsmanship is simply irreplaceable. We are talking about the kind of woodwork and timeless grace that you just cannot find in modern houses today. The current owners spent tons of love and effort preserving every ounce of its historic character, so it is in top-notch shape. With six bedrooms and six bathrooms, you have more than enough room to host the most epic dinner parties the city has ever seen. It is not just a house; it is a legendary piece of history waiting for its next caretaker!
