Scenic Waterfront Lake Michigan Escape
This stylish 1913 craftsman is perfect for family vacations, group trips or a couple's escape. Situated directly on Lake Michigan you can enjoy breathtaking views from the home and recently constructed deck. The primary bedroom features a new bathroom and magnificent views of the lake.
There are three workspaces perfect for "work from home". Finish your day by relaxing in the hot tub, hammock or by the fire. The home is located in a historic neighborhood just 1 hour and 20 minutes from Chicago and 45 minutes from Milwaukee. Enjoy a walk down nearby College Ave and enjoy the remarkable architecture.
You can access the lakefront from a recently constructed staircase in the back yard. The shoreline is rocky but swimming and kayaking is permitted. We provide a 2 person kayak and lifejackets for your use. There are also two lakefront parks within walking distance to the house, one with a small beach.
This house was built in 1913, was significantly remodeled in 1963, and then again recently. Look closely for some original features including servant bells and the dumbwaiter (now a laundry chute).
There is not central air conditioning, however all of the windows open and the lake breezes keep it much cooler than even one block west. There are window AC units or wall units in every bedroom and the living room.
Outdoor amenities include grill, hammock, hot tub, fire table and solo stove.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 2.5 bathrooms, and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 4 bedrooms. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a sofa bed, and a coffee maker.
