About This Home
As of March 2017One of the most recognizable homes in the city of New Buffalo! Located in the downtown General Business District, and an easy stroll to restaurants, shops, grocery store and the beach, this property offers lots of possibilities for residential or business use, or the combination of both with a unique opportunity for a live/work environment. This classic 1940’s bungalow has been updated over the years by the owner/architect with contemporary details and finishes, such as vaulted barrel ceiling, a bridge structure connecting 2nd floor living spaces, and
many custom details throughout. Amenities include 5 bedrooms, an observation tower, living room open to the dining area and kitchen, family rooms and den on the main floor, detached 1 car garage with heat & ac, rear deck, back yard and cove deck & mature trees. There is also a detached 4 car heated garage/workshop. The home has been updated with new roof and windows, and the interior and exterior are freshly painted. This would make a great rental investment, too! Listing agent is owner.
