About This Home

As of August 2024

A developer's dream on 3 lots! This property offers a myriad of possibilities. The brick bungalow home can be renovated and used as a primary residence, with ample yard space to add a pool. Alternatively, the brick home can be refurbished and used as a second home or rental property. The other home on the property can also be utilized in the same manner.

Furthermore, there is a chance to have the property zoned for commercial use, which would allow for the development of townhomes or condos, with possible storefronts to create a cozy community close to downtown. Located right on one of the main streets of New Buffalo, this property presents numerous opportunities.
