Property Description

Eight reasons for buying this house, hideway grotto, and extra buildable lot that can easily become a family compound. Reason 1. Charming, nostalgic bungalow " in better condition than when it was first built" 3 bedroom 2 bath house with new insulation, new plumbing, electric upgrades, new furnace and AC unit with added duct work, new second bathroom, new bathroom fixtures, new kitchen floor and appliances. All wood floors sanded and refinished to like new condition. New roof. New washer and dryer. Reason 2. Hideaway Grotto. One of the previous owners created a Grotto deep in the ground landscaped around an underground stream. You feel/are separated from the rest of the world when you are in the Grotto. Reason 3. We have created a new buildable lot that will allow you to either build a second full sized home that can create a family compound or sell it off for money. Reason 4. There is room for a small ADU (bedroom or office and bath) overlooking the Grotto. Think family compound. Reason 5. There is an unfinished building (actually has walls constructed up a couple of feet from the ground with a cement floor and plumbing lines for water and sewer coming out from the house). It could become a base for an inground pool with its own bath, or you can complete the building for a workshop, storing cars or a family gathering spot with a grand fireplace. Reason 6. This property is in town in a quiet neighborhood of the City of New Buffalo next to new homes but only half a mile (I call that "walking distance") to a full service Grocery store, coffee shop- deli, three popular restaurants, several touristy shops, an ice cream shop, and a drug store. Reason 7. You have free parking at the New Buffalo Beach. The beach is very large and most (not all) days of the year not crowded. Reason 8. There is regular AMTRAK passenger train service that runs between Chicago and Eastern Michigan that stops in New Buffalo. Family and friends can commute from Chicago on the train. You can take a train to football or basketball games at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor All furniture is AI generated. the Grotto. Think family compound. Reason 5.
