Mod Magic: Buyer Snags Stylish $1.9M Retreat Above Lake Michigan
Realtor.com
A modern marvel positioned above Lake Michigan is making waves on the market.
Featured in the New York Times for its exceptional architectural design, the sleek showpiece is located in Northport, MI.
Two different families have occupied the home—which the listing refers to as “Evenfall”—since its 2017 construction.
The place last changed hands in 2020 for $1,050,000 ($60,000 less than the asking price). Just two years later, the new $1,895,000 listing price represents a considerable spike. But after 30 days on the market, the home has already found a buyer and is in contingent sale status.
Northport is a tiny village of 526 people along Grand Traverse Bay, which feeds into Lake Michigan’s eastern shoreline. Its median listing price just north of $1 million, according to Realtor.com® data, speaks to the appeal of those seeking second homes tucked into wine country and along Lake Michigan.
The picturesque property is located on 5.35 acres, along 325 feet of private shoreline, and perched above Lake Michigan. Both the Fox Islands and Manitou Islands can be seen from the home.
Northport is 30 miles north of Traverse City, at the tip of the peninsula, and near the Leelanau Peninsula wine trail.
Fine design
Constructed from steel and glass, the home offers a welcoming open floor plan featuring walls of windows. A separate guest wing boasts a double vanity, two baths, and two tiled showers.
The primary wing features an office nook, a large bedroom with lake views, and a steam shower with double showerheads.
Entertaining buffs will love the kitchen’s beverage refrigerator, large island, luxurious Bosch oven, and built-in antique lighting.
The entire interior is painted in a moody, saturated blue hue.
For outdoor entertaining—perhaps around the outdoor fire pit—a refrigerator has thoughtfully been added to the three-car garage.

For the hobbyist gardener, there’s a fenced vegetable garden. And nature lovers will enjoy trail hikes to forage for morels and blackberries.
According to the New York Times article, Daniel Caudill—creative director for the Detroit-based watch company Shinola—commissioned the design. Dwell also featured the stand-out space.
According to a 2020 article in the local press, Caudill has moved on to another project, restoring a 1915 log cabin nearby.
Hillary Voight of Venture Properties is handling the listing.
