The six-bedroom, 6,694-square-foot home at 3816 N. Lake Drive is being listed exclusively by Powers Realty Group, with showings expected to begin Nov. 1.Built in 1937, the home sits on 0.83 acres overlooking Lake Michigan.

The residence was designed by Milwaukee architect Herman Buemming and features a mix of preserved original details and modern upgrades. The property includes six bedrooms, four full and three half bathrooms, multiple fireplaces and custom woodwork throughout.

Listing agent Suzanne Powers said recent renovations done to the home were extensive. The chimneys were rebuilt, and the heating, ventilation and air conditioning are all new.

"Everything sparkles," Powers said. "There isn't anything the owners didn't do."

Also added was a new kitchen with Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances, a lower-level recreation area with a wine cellar and fitness room and updated security systems. Outdoor amenities include a bluestone patio, firepit and gated entry.
In an attached garage are three and a half spaces and an electric vehicle charging station.
And an added benefit: the home's proximity to nature.
"The Shorewood Nature Preserve lies right below this house. You can walk out your front door, take a left and walk down a path, which a lot of people don't even know is there," Powers said. "The beaches are pristine down there."
Annual property taxes for the home in 2024 were $46,683, according to the listing.
