Nestled atop a wooded dune in the intimate community of Dune Acres, just one hour from downtown Chicago, 44 Circle Drive presents arare opportunity to own a fully reimagined piece of Lake Michigan's most coveted shoreline. Built in 1946 and thoughtfully transformed by its current owners,this iconic hillside ranch has been meticulously updated while preserving its original character. Arrive to a freshly landscaped exterior where new customfencing and a stone patio create generous outdoor living space, perfectly positioned to capture sweeping lake views. Step inside and Lake Michiganimmediately takes center stage. The living room offers unobstructed water views through new Andersen windows, framed by refinished redwood walls,exposed beams, vaulted ceilings, and a dramatic stone fireplace. The primary bedroom and library carry those same captivating views, making even thequietest moments feel connected to the shoreline. The fully remodeled kitchen flows naturally from the living space and features Sub-Zero and Fulgor Milanoappliances along with a granite composite sink, equally suited for a quiet morning coffee or a full weekend of entertaining. Three bedrooms, a dedicatedoffice, two updated baths, and a renovated sunroom complete a warm, finished interior, all set within the privacy of the dune and the surrounding naturallandscape. Access the beach via private stairs, or the recently installed community beach stairs just steps away. This is lake life at its finest.
