Property Description

Summer and Beach Living Are Here! This thoughtfully renovated home offers the chance to experience one of Northwest Indiana's most special lakefront communities. Tucked into a quiet wooded setting near Marquette Park, Miller Beach, and Indiana Dunes National Park, life here is defined by fresh lake breezes, sandy beaches, scenic trails, and the natural beauty of Lake Michigan in every season. Spend mornings walking along the shoreline, afternoons exploring the dunes or nearby parks, and evenings enjoying the vibrant energy of the Miller Beach Arts & Creative District, with its unique shops, dining, and local culture. Inside, the home was fully renovated in 2025, creating a fresh, modern space designed for gathering and relaxation. The open-concept living area features waterproof vinyl plank flooring, abundant natural light, and a welcoming kitchen with stainless steel appliances, breakfast bar, and space to cook, connect, and entertain. Sliding doors extend the living space to an elevated deck perfect for quiet mornings with coffee or evenings with friends. Two main-level bedrooms include a sun-filled primary suite with spa-inspired ensuite bath. The finished lower level provides additional bedrooms, bathroom, and gathering space for guests, recreation, or work-from-home flexibility. Every detail of the home was renovated in 2025 allowing you to move right from closing to living your dream: new mechanicals including tankless water heater, plumbing, roof, windows, and 200-amp electric service. Whether you're looking for a peaceful year-round residence, a weekend escape, or an opportunity for short-term rental income, this location offers flexibility and lifestyle in equal measure while Downtown Chicago remains easily accessible by car or the South Shore Line when the city calls.
