With incredible wall-to-wall windows that let the natural light pour in, this quaint cottage tucked away in a quiet neighborhood of New Buffalo will place you mere blocks from the heart of downtown. Step inside to find a beautifully maintained, air-conditioned space with whimsical decor, vaulted ceilings, and an open-concept kitchen and dining area that give the home a decidedly spacious feel. Enjoy a kitchen with every essential and a peninsula breakfast bar, a dining space with a beautiful wood table, and a living room with a large, comfortable sectional sofa, a gas-powered fireplace, and a wall-mounted flatscreen TV.

Soak up the summer sunshine outside on the front deck, where cafe tables and chairs overlook the large, fenced-in yard with a lush lawn, mature trees, and an in-ground firepit surrounded by comfortable Adirondack chairs. There's also a rear patio with a grill for outdoor cooking, a table with seating for four, and an outdoor shower to welcome you home from New Buffalo Beach (three-quarters of a mile north) each afternoon. At night, two comfortable bedrooms - one with a queen-size bed and one with a pair of twin beds - and a full bathroom are adjacent to the kitchen.

And for those who love a nice stroll, downtown New Buffalo is only a two blocks away, offering great shopping and wonderful eateries.
