About this home
Single Family · Built 1957
Breezy beach cottage! Many updates including a newer kitchen and baths add contemporary sparkle to the charm and history of a beguiling home with a stone fireplace, warm wood floors and appealing vaulted volume ceilings. An inviting screen porch connects the main house to The Bunkhouse, attractively appointed with two queen beds and ample room for more. Stop 37/38 Michiana Shores beach is only a short distance. Notable for the value added opportunity to take advantage of vacation rental income. Ready now to make memories, offered fully furnished. Seriously, just turn on the lights!
