Relax on your own private beach on stunning Lake Michigan
FULLY RENOVATED HOME, PRIVATE LAKE MICHIGAN BEACH, LAKE VIEWS, SUNSETS
Come and bring your family and friends. Swim and play on your own huge private beach. Enjoy sunsets on the beach or up on a high bluff.
This secluded, four-season, home sits on a bluff in Lakeside. It has been freshly renovated with open living areas designed to accommodate a group gathering. Living room with new OLED TV, woodburning fireplace, sectional couch and chairs. The dining table seats eight and can be extended for up to 10, which can serve double-duty for WFH, puzzles, cards or board games.
Large, bright kitchen is fully stocked for big breakfasts and evening meals. Huge center island with stools, 36” dual-fuel Bertazzoni range, two sinks and super-quiet Bosch dishwasher. Includes toaster, Ninja blender, hand mixer, electric kettle, cookware, coffee pot, built-in microwave.
You can lounge, dine and enjoy views of the lake and beautiful sunsets from the large back deck and yard. The outdoor fire pit is at the edge of the bluff and also overlooks the lake. Just beyond the fire pit are the stairs to the beach.
You’ll have your own private beach with the gear you need in the shed down at the beach — beach chairs, umbrellas, inflatable water hammocks and some toys for the beach and lake. There are about 120 steps to the beach (no need for a Stairmaster!), and there is a stopping point and lookout about halfway down.
Four bedrooms sleep 10. Two bedrooms have queen-size beds, one has a queen bunk bed, and one has a twin bunk. All the beds are new and guests have remarked about how comfortable those are.
There are two full bathrooms. One features a tub-shower combo and has an electric towel warmer.
Home is about .3 miles walking distance to the Union Pier Whistle Stop and Red Arrow Roadhouse. It's a few minutes drive to Union Pier Market and Flagship Fish Market. Short drives (less than 10 minutes) to Sawyer, New Buffalo and Three Oaks.
Cook at home or enjoy dozens of local restaurants in Harbor Country: Red Arrow Roadhouse, Timothy’s, Gather, Skip’s, Union Pier Social. Check out the area’s breweries and distilleries, including Seedz, Beer Church, Ghost Isle, Greenbush, Haymarket and Journeyman.
Available year-all round for fall, winter or spring getaways. Have an indoor fire in cooler weather or an outdoor fire all summer. Jacuzzi is located on the back patio and kept hot all year long. There are plenty of fall cool weather activities, apple orchards, cross country skiing, wineries and more.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 2 bathrooms, and a patio. There's space to spread out with 4 bedrooms and a dining area. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a coffee maker.
