This lakeside property got a major increase in curb appeal with its gorgeous new driveway and elaborate landscaping. The ornate beds wrap around the property with boxwood hedges, knockout roses, perfectly pink mums, and striking beds of fountain grass. The home sits on a lakefront property in South Lyon, Michigan with a dramatic grade, sloping down to its private sand beach. To accommodate the grade, a stunning set of ledge rock steps wrap around the house, leading you to the back of the property and a beautiful brick patio. Laid in a herringbone pattern, the patio features an elongated gas-fueled firepit with Brussels bullnose coping and cut glass pebbles. Brussel block is used for a pony wall and accent columns around the patio as well. Towering above the patio is a stunning balcony, extending off the second-floor bay windows. The expansive balcony has composite decking and wood-framed metal railings, with ample room for a full dining table, grill, and lounge area.
The landscaping in the back of the property mimics aspects of the front with boxwood hedges and hydrangea but also incorporates lush hosta beds, elegant columnar oaks, and emerald green arborvitae. Linear limestone steppers lead from the patio, across the grass to a wrought-iron-inspired gate. Past the gate, another set of ledge rock steps leads to the private sand beach.
