6824 High St, Coloma, MI 49038

If you've been longing for Pure Michigan, here's the place: an adorable--and affordable--getaway in the heart of the wine country. Contemporary style meets vintage charm in this artfully rehabbed, all-year-round, 1-bedroom, 1-bath cottage overlooking Little Paw Paw Lake in the Township of Coloma. Close to the junction of I-94 and I-196, this delightful home is only five minutes from historic downtown Coloma, 15 minutes from three Lake Michigan beaches, and within easy driving distance of the resort towns of St. Joseph, South Haven, and Saugatuck. The property makes the ideal weekend retreat. Located in a low-density neighborhood--and intentionally ''unplugged'' from TV and the Internet--it's perfect for the city-dweller wanting to get away from it all. The owners have enhanced the appearance of the interior while keeping alive the feeling of 1926, the year the cottage was built, by, for example, refinishing the original wooden floors, adding rough-hewn pine bead-board paneling, and painting the living and bed rooms in colors inspired by the Arts and Crafts movement. With its vaulted ceiling, enclosed front porch and elevated rear deck, the home is big enough not to feel cramped, but definitely small enough to feel cozy. Situated at the top of a small hill, the unusually spacious lot is shaded by fully mature maple, hickory, spruce, flowering dogwood, and fruit-bearing mulberry trees, with a half-finished gazebo adding the feel of a sculpture garden. And it's practically ready to enjoy on the day of closing: some pieces of furniture, key kitchen appliances, dishes, an outdoor swing, garden tools, and even a lawnmower are included.
