Juniper Presents: Landmark Home 1 Block from Lake MI w/ Game Room + EV Charger

Sumptuous 4 BR/2.5 BA vacation home, just 1 block from Lake Michigan. Fully refurbished with reclaimed flooring, antique beams, custom doors, and fixtures. High-end kitchen, dining, and living areas with French windows. Living room features a stone fireplace, stylish couches, and a wide-screen TV. Three ground-floor bedrooms and baths with a second-floor bunk bed loft. Detached garage is a posh game room with high-end tables and a big TV. Covered patio, 4-seat dining, and bluestone courtyard.

THE SPACE
Classy, awe-inspiring, and sumptuous, this 1928 4 BR/2.5 BA vacation home, located just a block from Lake Michigan in “Harbor Country,” was once a local retail gathering place. Recently refurbished into a stunning residential home, it includes gorgeous reclaimed flooring from antique beams, custom doors, light fixtures, and hardware, as well as top-of-the-line plumbing fixtures.

The kitchen-dining room-living room area—a massive, superbly well-lit space—features entire walls of French windows, original glass-block, and a wide array of seating options for meals: 4 chic stools at the white marble island, 4 leather seats around a circular marble coffee table, and a 10-seat reclaimed wood dining table. The beautifully lit living room has a classic stone fireplace at its center, stylish (yet ultra-comfortable) couches and chairs, and a wide-screen TV.

In addition to the three bedrooms and bathrooms on the ground floor, there’s a second-floor sleeping loft, perfect for kids with cute bunk beds and a real (mini) teepee. All bedrooms feature top-quality bedding and linens, ensuring a sound sleep and sweet dreams for you and your guests. Black Door Bungalow can sleep up to 10.

MAIN FLOOR
Primary Bedroom: 1 King bed
Bedroom 2: 1 Queen bed
Bedroom 3: 1 Queen bed

UPSTAIRS FLOOR
Bedroom 4: Full-over-full bunk bed that sleeps 4

Another “extra” is the detached garage, which has been turned into a posh game room, with high-end shuffleboard and foosball tables, a big-screen TV, and a sound system. The exterior—featuring a spacious covered patio with cozy rattan couch, chairs, and a 4-seat dining table, leading to a bluestone courtyard—has been extensively landscaped with lush plantings, trees, and professional lighting. The home also includes a high-end kitchen, EV charger, and laundry appliances.

In addition to being an easy walk from a majestic, crystal-sand Lake Michigan beach—and a super-short drive to popular beaches like Pier Street Beach and Cherry Beach—you and your guests can also enjoy the many activities afforded by being near Warren Woods State Park, which offers all sorts of woodland hiking and biking trails. The region’s largest recreational harbor provides countless water-related excursions and rentals, from fishing trips to boat, kayak, jet-ski, and paddleboard rentals, as well as day and evening cruises. There’s also the Acorn Theater, a local treasure for live performances by nationally recognized music artists, and a number of nearby breweries, wineries, brew pubs, and even an award-winning distillery for you to check out. Of course, you and your guests can also enjoy sampling to your heart's content the many popular restaurants, cafes, art galleries, boutiques, and antique shops just a hop, skip, and a jump away in Union Pier and downtown New Buffalo.
