About 229 & 223 Norwood Avenue
Set behind gates on the quiet shoreline of Pine Creek Bay on Lake Macatawa, this breathtaking property with two separate homes combines expertly designed landscaping, stunning lake views, and premium features for an unrivaled living experience. Main Residence: Five bedrooms, a nursery, and eight bathrooms give the main residence real depth for family living. The main-floor primary suite is its own retreat, with dual closets and advanced security features. His-and-hers offices flank the plan, and the second office/studio converts easily to a sixth bedroom if desired. The great room brings the home together beneath soaring coffered ceilings, centered on a two-sided stone fireplace that warms the space from both sides and creates an intimate entertaining area within a grand home. In the kitchen, a lineup of Sub-Zero, Wolf, and Cove appliances gives any chef serious range to work with. A teak-and-holly ceiling sets the tone in the foyer, and the sunroom — stocked with a refreshment center, ice makers, a glassware dishwasher, and a cocktail pantry — is built for hosting. A vestibule with party refrigerators, generous storage, and dedicated boat key organization handles the practical side, while an elevator connects every level of the home. A full snowmelt system keeps the driveway and spa paths clear through even the coldest months, so winter is never an inconvenience. Upper Level: Upstairs, a bonus room flexes between the pool table, game table, and home theater, with views wide enough to take in the July 4th fireworks. The family loft adds a kitchenette, laundry, a toy and play area, bunk rooms for both the girls and the boys, a second nursery, and additional bathrooms. Guest Cottage: The guest cottage carries the same polish as the main house. Its second story living area opens to a covered porch, and sleeping quarters include a primary suite, a second bedroom with its own sitting area, and a bunk room for six. A game room keeps the spirit of entertaining close at hand, and three garage stalls split between the driveway and the lake side are perfect spaces to store additional water toys. Pool, Patio & Outdoor Living: Outside, the estate turns into its own year-round resort. A heated pool and spa with automatic covers invite enjoyment and relaxation, whatever the season. Nearby is an open patio with two fire rings, a covered patio built around a fireplace and TV, and a professional-grade pickleball court. A custom playground, volleyball lawn with hidden drainage, oversized sandbox, and vegetable garden round out the custom grounds, backed by an outdoor kitchen with grills, a power burner, sink, and fridge. On the water, boat dockage includes a 90' main slip and a 50' guest slip, with lifts for boats, PWCs, kayaks, and a dinghy — plus a wide driveway with room for guest parking. Additional Features: The luxury extends to the climate-controlled eight-stall garage that includes epoxy floors, ceiling fans, hot and cold-water spigots, and floor drains. A Control4 system runs distributed audio and televisions throughout the property, backed by a full security system with cameras and central monitoring. Two XL generators keep the power on during weather events, and RV parking comes with full hookups. For pets, a gated dog run pairs with a dedicated dog door, room, and nightly wash-down system. The pool and patio area seats 24 across natural stone pavers, with gas lighting and stainless-steel fixtures throughout. The Gunite pool itself includes custom tile, a sun shelf, built-in benches, volleyball net sleeves, and a basketball pole — with a stainless-steel-frame hammock nearby for quieter moments. Dock & Seawall: Built to commercial standards, the dock and seawall combine 12" steel pilings, Ipe wood decking, and Hi-Tide lifts, finished with lighting and security cameras. An estate where every detail — indoors and out — was built for a life well lived on the water.
