Description

Own the one-and-only award-winning Chameleon House-a soaring 32-foot, nine-level modern-industrial masterpiece designed by San Franciscos Anderson Anderson Architects and featured in multiple luxury architectural publications.This architectural trophy is truly one of a kind. Its innovative translucent polyethylene reflective siding captures and mirrors the light and color of the surrounding landscape, allowing the structure to dissolve into the seasons: winters snow and ice, springs pale pink blossoms, summers pollen-green leaves, and autumns golden straw and vivid foliage. The double-skin cladding creates a subtle microclimate, producing a shimmering mirage effect-steaming condensation in summer, melting icicles in winter.Majestically sited on a full acre of hillside above rolling cherry orchards, the home commands spectacular westward views of Lake Michigan, the Manitou Islands, the Crib Lighthouse, and North & South Fox Islands.Constructed with steel I-beams and structural insulated panels (SIPs) and finished in warm birch wood throughout, the residence offers a primary suite, two guest bedrooms and baths, plus a bonus loft/executive office with private bath on the eighth floor. Ascend one more level to the exclusive ninth-floor rooftop patio-the perfect perch for breathtaking Manitou sunsets and quiet evenings under the northern Michigan sky. Like any true work of art, the Chameleon House captivates with wonder and delight. Ideally located near Lelands historic Fishtown and Northports BayFront Park, this is a rare opportunity to own an architectural icon with epic views in one of Northern Michigans most desirable settings.
