Only blocks from Whiting Park at Lake Michigan with a beach practically in your backyard and access to walking and bike paths right out your door. Located just minutes from the lake, this two-story, 4 bedroom, 2 bath home has lots of built in character on all levels of the home from the original hardwood floors to the custom built-ins throughout the house. Upon walking up to the large covered front porch, open for welcoming entertaining, you enter into an open sitting area perfect for relaxing and enjoying the fresh breezes off the lake from the many windows that bring light and air into the open large living room complete with fireplace.

Passing through the dining room you enter into a large kitchen with a center island that provides ample storage underneath. There is plenty of additional kitchen storage as well as a 6-burner commercial Viking oven included. As you head upstairs you will find a large master bedroom, along with 3 other bedrooms one of which is currently used as an office but has served as a nursery as well and a full bathroom.
