Property tours begin 6/11/2025! A first offering of this custom Lake Shore estate featuring sweeping waterfront views of Lake Saint Clair. Priced attractively, this home presents a rare value-add opportunity—especially with neighboring sales exceeding $425 per square foot. Lovingly built from the ground up with attention to detail and highly functional design, 561 Lake Shore Drive was developed and maintained by the same owners for over 50 years. Situated on more than three-quarters of an acre, it offers a large, private backyard—an uncommon feature for much of Lake Shore Drive. The layout is ideal and ready for your cosmetic updates. The floor plan is incredibly attractive and checks every box. The expansive family room flows seamlessly into a large kitchen and pantry, all with beautiful views of both the water and the backyard. The first floor also features a spacious mudroom off the 3.5-car attached garage, a den/home office with fireplace and warm wood panel walls, and formal living and dining rooms with lake views. The impressive double-height foyer with a curved main staircase and abundant storage throughout the first floor add to the home's appeal. Upstairs, the large master suite features water views, a fireplace, oversized his-and-hers walk-in closets, and en suite bath. Five additional bedrooms—all with private en suite bathrooms—bring the total to six bedrooms. A separate in-law suite includes a bedroom, full bath, sitting room, and plumbing for a kitchenette, located off the rear staircase. Several large hallway walk-in closets could be easily converted to a second-floor laundry. No need for an addition or major layout reconfiguration—this home has the bones of a premier Lake Shore estate. With neighboring sales surpassing $2.8M, 561 Lake Shore Drive offers a rare chance to customize your dream home at a compelling value. Additional information to follow.
