Overview

Description

ARTFULLY ENCHANTING COTTAGE on a huge Double Corner Lot! This private sanctuary blends rich character and nostalgic appeal on secluded, picturesque grounds within the City limits. Located just moments from Lake Michigan's beaches, downtown shops, restaurants, and the Amtrak station, you'll have the sought-after walkable lifestyle in one of Southwest Michigan's premier lakefront communities. This authentic 1930/40s cottage is filled with music, books, and charm creating a warm and creative ambiance. The residence is offered as-is and ready for thoughtful restoration, renovation, or reimagination. Opportunities of this size and location are increasingly difficult to find.

A rare opportunity to reimagine, restore, or create something truly extraordinary in the heart of New Buffalo.
