Property 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 beaches, downtown shops, restaurants, and the Amtrak station. Enjoy the sought-after, walkable lifestyle that this premier Southwest Michigan lakefront community offers. 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 is ready for thoughtful restoration, renovation, or reimagination. Opportunities of this size and location are increasingly difficult to find. The double-lot configuration offers a chance to create a separate, buildable homesite. Additionally, the oversized two-story garage has the potential to be converted into a guest house. Many options to renew, envision, or create something truly extraordinary in the heart of New Buffalo.
