About this home

Very rare opportunity to own one of the Historic Cottages in Sylvan Beach Association! Nestled between 2,000 ft of Lake Michigan shoreline and the beautiful All Sports White Lake, this exceptionally remodeled 1911 year-round cottage was once owned by St. Louis chemist Courtney Pitkin the Inventor of Tums. From the granite counter tops, hickory floors, 6 ft wine refrigerator, to the panoramic views from the 3 decks of White Lake no detail has been missed. With 4 bedrooms and 3 baths you can easily entertain family and friends. Enjoy watching the kids play in the lake as the sandy bottom is shallow for swimming. Put a slide at the end of the dock where the bottom drops off into deeper water for endless hours of fun! Receive your mail from the oldest Post Office in the USA that is practically next door and across from the Wabiningo Club, tennis courts and kiddie beach. With only one of two garages in the entire association you will have plenty of storage for vehicles and water toys. To top it off seller is gifting a bottle of wine from their private collection for you to take to the beach for your first Lake Michigan sunset. Home Warranty included with purchase! Buyer to verify all information.
