About This Home
Prime STR opportunity in the heart of New Buffalo. This versatile 8 bed, 3 bath home lets guests park once and walk to everything—restaurants, coffee shops, boutiques, marina, and New Buffalo's public beach and famous sunsets. After a day in town, unwind in your private hot tub or gather in the bright upper level with neutral finishes, updated flooring, and ample sleeping space for large groups. The walk-out lower level is partially rehabbed and ready for your finishes, ideal for a custom guest suite, rec room, or expanded rental space. With flexible options for personal use, multi-generational living, or continued STR income, this in-town New Buffalo address is a true Harbor Country destination.
