Property Description
Own a piece of New Buffalo history and enjoy the best of both worlds—a distinctive second home with an established short-term rental history.Dating to approximately 1890, this beautifully preserved Victorian blends historic character with the space, updates and location today's buyers are looking for. Offering more than 3,250 square feet of finished living space across three levels, the home features 5 bedrooms and 4.5 baths, including a main-level bedroom and full bath suite, along with a flexible main-level den and fully finished third floor—ideal for a home office, recreation room or guest accommodations. Thoughtful improvements have modernized the home while preserving the architectural details that make it special, including updated HVAC, plumbing and electrical, replacement windows and doors, and a roof installed in 2018. Detailed millwork, generous crown molding and substantial trim add warmth, character and a sense of history throughout. Located in the heart of New Buffalo's Central Business District, the home is within walking distance of downtown dining and shopping, the Amtrak station, marina and Lake Michigan beach. There are very few single-family homes with such a short walk to everything New Buffalo has to offer. With an established short-term rental history, this property offers a unique opportunity to enjoy your own New Buffalo retreat while having the flexibility to generate rental income when you're not using it. Whether you're looking for a second home, an investment property, or the perfect combination of both, this is a rare chance to own an exceptional piece of New Buffalo history.
