Modern Farmhouse Retreat | 4 Bed | 3.5 Bath | Steps to the Beach Just a short stroll to Michiana's beloved Dead End and Stop 40 beaches, this architect-reimagined modern farmhouse offers luxury design and the rare advantage of a full, down-to-the-studs renovation in one of Harbor Country's most sought-after communities. Crisp board-and-batten siding, updated exterior doors, and a welcoming front deck set the tone for a home that blends modern farmhouse charm with relaxed lake life. Inside, vaulted ceilings with exposed beams crown a dramatic great room designed for both everyday living and entertaining. Sunlight pours through expansive windows and folding glass doors that open completely to the deck, creating seamless indoor-outdoor flow. Spacious enough for a dining table seating 20+ yet still intimate for relaxed gatherings, this is a room that adapts effortlessly to any occasion. The relocated kitchen
