ARTFULLY ENCHANTING COTTAGE on a huge Double Corner Lot! This private sanctuary blends rich character and nostalgic appeal on secluded, picturesque grounds within the City limits. Located just moments from Lake Michigan's beaches, downtown shops, restaurants, and the Amtrak station, you'll have the sought-after walkable lifestyle in one of Southwest Michigan's premier lakefront communities. This authentic 1930/40s cottage is filled with music, books, and charm, creating a warm and creative ambiance. The residence is offered as-is, and is ready for thoughtful restoration, renovation, or reimagination. Opportunities of this size and location are increasingly difficult to find. The double-lot configuration offers an opportunity to create a separate, buildable homesite. Additionally, the oversized two-story garage has the potential to be converted into a guest house. A rare opportunity to reimagine, restore, or create something truly extraordinary in the heart of New Buffalo.
