About this property

Award-winning 9-level Chameleon House in Leelanau County. A modern-industrial masterpiece with reflective siding, rooftop deck, and epic Lake Michigan views near beaches and Fishtown.

Welcome to the one and only award-winning Chameleon House -- a 32-foot-high, 9-level modern-industrial masterpiece designed by San Francisco’s renowned Anderson Anderson Architects. This published, trophy-worthy home is unlike anything else, both an architectural landmark and a living work of art. The innovative translucent polyethylene siding reflects and mimics the surrounding landscape and sky, transforming with the seasons. Inside, warm birch wood panels soften the sleek steel construction.

Ascend to the 9th level rooftop deck for breathtaking views of Lake Michigan, and Manitou Islands.
