The Best of both worlds is what you will find in this Michiana Michigan home. A perfectly preserved vintage cottage with gorgeous original knotty pine wood work throughout, soaring wood beamed ceiling and a two-story stone fireplace great you when entering the home. The front porch was converted to a four-season room, adding even more space to entertain family and friends. Both spaces are surrounded by additional windows and skylights making them bright and inviting. In the newer part of the home there is a large kitchen with high end appliances, large L shaped island for additional seating, abundant cabinetry for storage all open to the dining and additional living area. Bring the outside in on those beautiful days with sliding doors that surround this space, or bring the party out onto the back deck with fire pit area. Also on the main level is a newer primary ensuite bedroom, with sliding doors onto the back deck. The second-floor addition has four bedrooms with vaulted ceilings, all plus sized and with their own unique character like a second level balcony, attached bathroom or large alcove for an office space, kids bunk/crib area or a peaceful reading nook. In the full basement with separate outside entrance there is a bathroom and two separate shower rooms to wash away the sand from a day spent at the beach. Basement also has a rec room area for ping pong or pool table, a laundry area, workshop area and 6 additional walk-in storage areas. The beaches of Lake Michigan are one block away from this home. Hop in your golf cart or stroll the winding streets to the Newly designed Michiana Village park for the playground, bocce ball, tennis, pickle ball and basketball courts or the covered gazebo for a picnic. You will enjoy this neighborhood's charm and character and will love being so close to the lake whether this is your vacation home or full-time residence. Get ready to make memories here for years to come.
