1718 Morningside Way

About this home

Architectural gem, in Oakland County's most exclusive zip code. Tucked on a quiet cul-de-sac in Wabeek Manor, this striking contemporary owns 137 feet of frontage on Upper Long Lake, a private all-sports lake. The home is uniquely positioned, offering the most stunning views of the lake in the entire subdivision. From the pool terrace, your own boardwalk carries you across the protected marsh to a private dock on open water: swim, ski, boat and fish from your backyard, then watch the sun set over the lake from three tiers of decks and balconies. Inside, a two-story living room rises to a full wall of lake-facing glass and a brushed-steel fireplace wall. The chef's kitchen pairs rich cherry cabinetry with granite counters, an oversized island with seating, two stainless refrigerators, double ovens and a gas cooktop, and opens to a skylit breakfast room over the water. A banquet-sized dining room with walkout to the deck, a paneled library with wall-to-wall built-ins, a first-floor laundry and a wrought-iron spiral staircase complete the main level. Upstairs, a loft lounge overlooks the living room; the primary suite opens to a private balcony over the lake and includes a dressing area, jetted tub and separate shower, and two more baths are freshly remodeled with marble-look tile, frameless glass and a granite double vanity. The walkout lower level lives like a second home: a sprawling family/media room with curved wet bar, mirrored gym, cedar sauna, guest bedroom and full bath, all opening to the brick-paver terrace, heated in-ground pool and spa. Over 6,000 finished sq ft, 4 bedrooms, 4 full and 2 half baths, 3-car attached garage, and central air. Award-winning Bloomfield Hills Schools; minutes to Wabeek and Forest Lake country clubs, Cranbrook, downtown Birmingham, Somerset Collection, Henry Ford West Bloomfield and Corewell Beaumont Troy hospitals, Telegraph, Woodward and I-75.

How it compares in Bloomfield Hills

Over the last 90 days, 183 homes sold in Bloomfield Hills for a median of $675,000, about $219 per square foot, and the typical one went under contract in 13 days. This home is listed at $2,200,000, or $362 per square foot, 65% above the city median, and has been on the market 1 day. Size, condition, updates and the exact street all move the number, so treat this as context. See recent Bloomfield Hills sales or ask us for the comparable sales on this one.

Property taxes for a new owner

The current owner pays about $14,091 a year. A buyer who lives here would pay about $13,323 to $40,653 a year once the taxable value resets after the sale, at the 2025 homestead rate of 36.59 mills for Bloomfield Twp and Bloomfield Hills schools, plus the 1% administration fee. Michigan resets a home's taxable value the year after it sells, so the seller's bill isn't a good number to budget with. See the math.
