About This Home
As of June 2022Prestigious mid-century modern home situated on over 10 wooded acres on the Red Cedar River. Built by renowned Swedish architect Walter Laitala for his own personal residence until his death, this historical gem has been featured in publications for its rich history and rare custom-built finishes (be sure to notice one of the publications on the living room coffee table during your showing!). Boasting over 4300 sq ft on the main floor, there is nothing like this home in the Greater Lansing area and features many luxurious qualities: chef's kitchen with subzero refrigerator and a Wolf six-burner gas stove with griddle, breathtaking primary bedroom suite with high ceilings and gas fireplace, attached office with drop down screen, beautiful ensuite bathroom, and walk in closet that is bigger than most bedrooms. Enjoy the scenic nature views during the upcoming spring/summer months in your 3-seasons room....an entertainer's paradise! More finished square footage in the basement for additional recreational space, as well as a wine cellar and gun safe (that stays with the house). Outside, there is an additional 2 car heated garage, storage shed, trails, and gardening areas (that feature morels!). Conveniently located within minutes to highways, restaurants, schools, and entertainment. Asking price is way below replication cost (and the builder used wood from existing land to build this property!) Enjoy your showing and prepare to be wowed.
