Oct. 29--The weekend getaway home of the late movie critic Roger Ebert is on the market in Harbert, Mich., for $4 million.
Set on 1.2 lakefront acres, the English Tudor-style home known as Ravenswood is about 80 miles from Chicago.
The 1934 home has a den/study, a recreation room, four bedrooms, four bathrooms and a powder room. The family room, with a small raised stage at one end, was used for movie screenings as well as musical and theatrical performances.
A lake-facing terrace extends the living space outdoors.
Including a detached guest house near the beachfront, there is 5,440 square feet of living space.
Ebert, who died in 2013 at 70, was a Chicago Sun-Times columnist and Pulitzer Prize winner for criticism. He was famously paired with Chicago Tribune critic Gene Siskel on a series of film rating shows on television. Ultimately, their movie reviews were boiled down to a thumb's up or a thumb's down.
Ebert bought the property in 1989 for an undisclosed amount. His widow, Chaz Ebert, is the seller.
Gail M. Lowrie of @properties is the listing agent.
