At Eastbrook Homes, we know that a home is more than just a building. It’s a place for you and your family to make memories, be part of a community, and where you have the most peace of mind. That’s why we don’t just help you build your dream home; we help you find the perfect West Michigan community that meets all your family’s needs. Read on to discover Tannery Bay, a lakeside Eastbrook community recently featured on eightWest.

Serene Lakeside Living

The town of Whitehall, nestled on the shores of White Lake, offers picturesque views of coastal Michigan’s natural lakeside landscapes. Tannery Bay sits on the northwest shore of White Lake, providing easy access to the water for lounging in the sun or enjoying some summer watersports. As Ann Wierengo, Senior Director of the Home Creation Studio at Eastbrook Homes put it, living at Tannery Bay is “like being at a resort.”

“Tannery Bay is a special place,” said Wierengo. “It is a fresh coast development. The colors on the siding, the lush landscape, the water, it’s amazing!”

The home designs featured in Tannery Bay, like The Manistee townhome and The Pentwater II condominium, are meant to take advantage of White Lake’s natural beauty. Open floor plans that utilize lots of natural light provide homeowners with peaceful, serene backdrops year-round.

“Most of our floorplans are going to have an open concept design,” said Wierengo. “We’re capturing all the natural light that we can so that you can see those amazing views.”

It’s not just the views that are worth staying for, though. As an Eastbrook community, Tannery Bay offers a wide array of amenities and activities that all homeowners can enjoy! Whether it’s walking along the community’s private beach, docking your boat at the community marina, or taking a dip in the newly completed pool, there are plenty of opportunities for fun for the whole family! 

Rob Engle, a Tannery Bay Eastbrook homeowner, knows firsthand the family-friendly environment this community provides.

“We have three young boys, all in grade school,” Engle said. “With this community, there are a lot of different features that they can be entertained with.”

A Seamless Building Process

Building your dream home in picturesque Tannery Bay is a simple, enjoyable process, thanks to the talented team at Eastbrook Homes. At the Home Creation Studio, Ann Wierengo oversees a team of seven designers who help walk prospective homeowners through the design process, ensuring every detail matches their chosen lifestyle. 

“Our hope and goal is that make it easy and we make it fun,” said Wierengo. “What greater thing is there than to be able to choose your wall color, your cabinets, your countertops, and then to have an expert who’s guiding you along the way so that you know you’re making good decisions?”

The Engle family was so delighted with their initial Eastbrook building experience when they built their first home in Rockford that they again enlisted Eastbrook’s services when building their second home in Whitehall.

“We built with [Eastbrook] in 2017. It was a great building experience,” said Rob. “It was pretty seamless. We had fun designing and customizing the floor plan.”

From the very beginning of the process, Amber Engle knew that building with Eastbrook was the right decision for her and her family to feel fully settled into the Tannery Bay neighborhood.

“When we walked through the model home, it felt like home,” she said.
