About this home

Welcome to your Harbor Country retreat! Perfectly secluded, yet a half mile from the beach at Lake Michigan. Nestled in the woods of a private Lakeside street, this sprawling three bedroom, two bath cottage is the relaxing retreat you've been looking for. The screened porch, deck and in-ground pool will become your summer living room. There is so much vintage charm throughout this one level cottage. Guest quarters are at the opposite end of the master bedroom, allowing everyone their privacy. Hardwood and tiled floors. Fabulous master suite with double shower & Jacuzzi! Lovely perennial and veggie gardens, large lush fenced yard. It's a little piece of paradise.
