Classic Michiana Shores cottage on 3/4-acre just two blocks from spectacular Lake Michigan beach! This charming 3br/2ba home welcomes you with a spacious living area with iconic Michiana knotty pine paneling, a fieldstone fireplace, and raised beamed ceilings that evoke a time gone by. The light filled dining area overlooks the private back yard and connects to the kitchen for easy flow when entertaining. Three bedrooms on the main floor and one full bath. Tall ceilings and lots of windows make the space feel open and airy! The basement could expand your living space, with a nice rec room, a den/office, large laundry area and a second bathroom that's perfect for those days you get back from the beach and don't want to track sand upstairs. Extra-long garage can fit your car plus your beach gear! It's a short walk to one of the Michiana area's best beaches, where you can soak up the sun and search for beach glass. New septic and incoming water line in 2025. Exterior painted in 2020. This is a great location in a quiet neighborhood, and a feel-good home that is ready for you to update and make new Michiana memories! Some photos are virtually staged.
