Property Description

Here’s YOUR opportunity to own THE one and only award winning 32’ high, 9-level modern-industrial Chameleon House. Designed by San Francisco-based Anderson Anderson Architects, this Towering Trophy home is PUBLISHED in multiple luxury architectural books. It’s truly a one of a kind Architectural Masterpiece.The Chameleon house has the unique ability to capture your imagination, but also mimic natural light and color from its surrounding landscapes and sun hues due to its innovative translucent polyethylene reflective siding material. The wall cladding has the ability to gather the light and color of its beautiful landscape, dissolving the finely shadowed and haloed structure into the seasonal color cycles of snow, ice and black twig tracery; pale pink blossom clouds; pollen green leaves; golden straw & vivid foliage. The double skin creates a micro-climate and thermal differential around the structure creating a rippling mirage updraft that in the summer sends steaming condensation or in the winter drips melting icicles. Majestically sited on a 1 acre hillside rising above the rolling topography of cherry orchards, peering outwards toward spectacular westward views of Lake Michigan, Manitou Islands, The Crib Lighthouse, North & South Fox Islands. This steel I-beam, structural insulated panel (SIP) constructed residence features birch wood panels providing a warm hue throughout the home. Enjoy the primary suite, two guest bedrooms and bathrooms, including a Bonus Loft/Executive Office area with a private bathroom (8th Floor). Perfection awaits as you ascend one more level (9th level) to the breathtaking views and magnificent Manitou sunsets from its exclusive rooftop patio area. The rooftop deck is the perfect place to unwind after a long day. Like any work of art, this unique structure captures your attention with wonder & delight. Located near Leland’s “Fish-town” & Northport’s “BayFront Park". Such a desirable location with EPIC views of Northern Michigan!
