💥 Coming Soon! Showings to begin 6/11.

Timeless character meets an unbeatable location in this 116-year-old vintage home less than a mile from Silver Beach and Lake Michigan. Filled with beautiful original woodwork, this 3 bed, 2 full bath home offers warmth and charm along with fresh paint throughout for a clean, fresh feel. Just a quick stroll from downtown St. Joseph's shops, restaurants, entertainment, beaches, parks and year-round events. The spacious enclosed porch is the perfect place to sip your morning coffee, sweet tea, or relax after a day at the beach, while the large concrete patio out back offers even more space for entertaining, grilling, or gathering outdoors. A basement of this age and location in such good condition is such a rare find, offering tons of valuable storage space. Whether you are looking for a full-time residence, vacation getaway, or midterm/long term rental opportunity, this home offers flexibility in one of Southwest Michigan's most desired vacation spots.

Thanks to Lakeshore Staging and Design for the amazing staging, as usual, and thanks to Kara Vogt for the amazing photography!

It’s been a fun 7 days. My husband and I closed on our investment property.

Which means…new listings coming down the pipeline 🙌🏼🏡
