Just a very short distance to Lake MIchigan Beaches and its year round oasis!! On TWO beautifully landscaped lots you find the most charming beachy raised ranch. Move-in ready to make every day at home feel like vacation. 2 lovely, fully finished levels, a full bath on each level. As you enter you instantly feel you are home. The living room centers around a wood burning fireplace and is open to the dining area and kitchen with beautiful granite counters. Main floor bedroom, office space and flex space complete the main floor. Lower level offers two more bedrooms, a full spa bathroom, laundry and plenty of storage. In the rear there is an amazing cedar sauna in the meditation/exercise room, which walks out to the patio with an outdoor shower. Homes boast new furnace and hot water heater. But the lovely home is only half the story here. The outdoor living spaces go on and on. Secluded behind the 2 car garage is a patio with fire pit area large enough for big for gatherings. Deck off the main level for family breakfast, or take your coffee on the front porch. Landscaped nooks everywhere to enjoy a book or conversation. And just beyond the yard are bicycling, hiking in the National Park, cross country skiing, paddle boarding, bird watching, and everything else Lake Michigan beaches have to offer. Easy commute to Chicago via South Shore or the quick access to major highways. This is a lifestyle home at an amazing price.
