About This Home
As of June 2018You will love this fully restored 3 bedroom/ 2 bath GEM..very near to properties of historical community value. Of which there are very few.
5 years of fine tuning every detail from the yard to the interior, include refinished flooring, painting, added retaining walls, re leveled, graded and beautifully landscaped lot. Installed several hard scapes including paths and pavers. The original remodel and upgrades approx. 2011 ,were done with integrity and didn't disrupt original features and character of the home and those parts that could give it historic value. Built in book cases,wooden ''pillars'' hardwood floors,interesting but simple framing.Also, kitchen, roof,windows, plumbing and drywall were done approx. 2011.. This home has been wonderfully cared for.
Just minutes from Saint Jos Lake Michigan, Silver Beach, Jack Nicklaus Signature Golf Course and all that Southwest Michigan has to offer. Less than two hours from Chicago.
