Overview

Description

OPEN HOUSE SAT. -- Located just outside the city limits, where short-term vacation rentals are permitted, this property presents a compelling opportunity for both personal enjoyment and Vacation Rental potential. Enjoy easy access to the City of New Buffalo's coveted downtown, perfect for healthy strolls to Lake Michigan's shoreline, or a quick 6-MIN drive (10 mins. by Bike) to the Amtrak for seamless travel into downtown Chicago. Built in 2005, this well-maintained home offers 2,825 sq.ft. of living space w/ generously sized bedrooms, closets and storage throughout. The primary en-suite has a walk-in shower, spa bath, and a huge walk-in closet. A large backyard deck provides the perfect setting for al fresco dining and relaxed summer evenings. The lower level is equally impressive- with 10-foot ceilings and daylight windows; it offers exceptional flexibility-- ideal for creating a private media lounge, fitness studio, luxurious guest quarters, or any combination of these spaces.

Supplements: Nature lovers will appreciate the mature wooded natural setting with Turtle Creek meandering along the back property line. Very close to well-groomed hiking trails. Also, steps from the award-winning New Buffalo Elementary school, with sidewalk access into downtown. Whether envisioned as a personal residence, getaway, or an income-generating asset ...
