About This Home

Secluded Harbor Country Escape
Tucked away at the end of a quiet private road, this nearly 2-acre retreat offers rare privacy just steps from Milda's, Union Pier Market, and less than a mile to Lake Michigan's shoreline. The 4-bedroom home sits on a wooded lot overlooking a scenic creek, with two wood-burning fireplaces, an in-ground pool, and a full finished basement. A separate workshop adds flexible space for a studio, creative pursuits, or storage. With convenience and seclusion in equal measure, this is a unique opportunity to own one of Harbor Country's most coveted end-lot properties.
