Poet/professor husband has retired. It's time for us to go build our small modern home in the woods. So we're putting the family modern home up for sale.

About a city block from Lake Michigan, and lazy Kelly Creek winds around this 4600 sq. foot fluted brick home. We call it the Monastery, and friends call it a Japanese bunker.

A 2.5 hour drive from Chicago up the lakeshore. Close to Saugatuck, a half mile from world-class marinas. A couple of miles from two of Lake Michigan's most beautiful beaches.

Visual privacy from every window (we've never bought curtains), but a wonderful neighborhood, esp. for running and biking.
