Property Description
Just steps from the shoreline at Stop 38, this timeless Michiana cottage sits on a rare double lot and offers the kind of warmth and character that define the Village's most sought after homes. The vaulted, lofted living room is an impressive focal point, wrapped in natural wood and anchored by a striking fieldstone fireplace that rises to the peak of the ceiling. Large windows, glowing interior light, and thoughtful craftsmanship create a classic cottage atmosphere throughout the 1,312 sq. ft., 3 bed, 2 bath layout. The setting is equally compelling -- a quiet, wooded enclave with generous outdoor space and the beach just 400 feet away. Whether enjoyed as an inviting retreat or envisioned as the foundation for a future expansion, this property offers a rare combination of land, location, and enduring architectural charm in the Village of Michiana. Home is offered in its present condition; seller will make no repairs
