Property Description

A CLASSIC CHARMING COTTAGE LIFTED OUT OF THE PAST INTO TODAY'S LIVING. A cottage that looks/feels exactly like it did when it was built in the 1950's (guessing date) with quality wooden floors and wood trim, everything refinished back to its original lustre. Located in a quiet part New Buffalo just 4 blocks Chicago blocks from interresting restaurants, shops, and groceries. FREE PARKING AT THE VERY LARGE CITY BEACH. What you will not notice is that the owners took the house apart so they could put it back together with NEW bath fixtures, all NEW plumbing, NEW HVAC equipment and some ductwork, NEW electric, NEW insulation, and storm windows so they could keep the original classic wooden windows . They rebuilt the kitchen. They kept the original real wood cabinets but put in all new appliances with a NEW kitchen floor. They updated the previously enclosed back porch for a den or TV room. ALL FURNITURE SHOWN IS AI. Keep Reading in second section. Large parcel ( 198 feet on Barker St) has been formally divided into two separate lots so you can create a family compound with second large main house and a small ADU for visitors. There is a "Grotto," 10 feet down into the ground that is part of an underground stream. It is a place where you can sit, watch the water go by and escape the world completely if you leave your phone in the house. Large incomplete building out back can become the base for an inground swimming pool or a shop to make things. Or a garage for cars plural. Water and sewer piped from the house into the incomplete building so you can have a bath there for whatever you create. Basement has been cleaned and with new utilities so it can be a great space for the kids to go make noise; just like 70 years ago. Public Road approved Golf cart you can tool around town with is for sale for $5,000. Outdoor Sauna also for sale for $5,000.
