Nestled along the iconic Tunnel of Trees, just 1.5 miles south of Cross Village and the sparkling shores of Lake Michigan sits a truly unique property waiting for its next chapter. 5550 N Lake Shore Drive isn't just a house; it's a story etched in wood, stone, and the very bones of its being. This isn't your typical cookie-cutter home; this is a legacy built by the Rose family in the mid-1980s on nearly 20 acres of secluded, wooded land. And if these walls could talk, oh, the tales they would tell! The building's robust construction was so evident that even the inspector jokingly asked if it was designed to house elephants, immediately signaling the substantial nature of the place. It is a testament to a bygone era of craftsmanship. The Roses, prominent in the demolition, salvage, and antique business, left their mark on this home with treasures reclaimed from forgotten structures. Imagine the stories behind the exquisite doors, the grand staircases, the intricate trim and woodwork, the flooring beneath your feet to the glow of the antique lighting fixtures, each piece a relic of Saginaw and Northern Michigan history. A massive 40x60 pole barn adds further potential to this already remarkable property. In addition, enjoy Lake Michigan public beach access at a nearby nature preserve. This home, a diamond in the rough, possesses a character and charm that simply cannot be replicated. It s a place where history resonates in every corner, waiting for a new owner to breathe fresh life into its storied past. With some vision and thoughtful updating, this remarkable residence at 5550 N Lake Shore Drive will truly shine.
