Description

Look no further!! This 3 bedroom, 3 bath home is not your standard ranch! You'll love the 20x25 addition completed in 2018 offering a 18x8 walk-in closet and french doors leading to a private deck. Two bedrooms include an ensuite. Other updates (2018) include drywall, electric, furnace, flooring, kitchen cabinets, granite counters, appliances, and reverse osmosis system for drinking water. Fantastic open concept with lots of natural light and tons of storage. MEC fiber optic high-speed internet is hooked-up! Enjoy summer nights on the screened-in porch. The 24x32 pole barn/detached garage provides additional storage. All situated on nearly an acre in a quiet, country setting. This is truly a MUST SEE!

Even the people in my area that aren't pet owners seems like they like the pets when they see them. I like living in the area that I live in because it is pet friendly and if I ever decide to get an pet it will feel at home while it is at home with me. "

    "There's a church nearby and alot of events happen there. The neighborhood can be better if we got more law enforcement in the area, but not just this area. The whole Benton Harbor. Benton Harbor has the potential to be great with many businesses around and of course Whirlpool. Make the roads better for Benton Harbor and establish more law enforcement!"

    "The location is quite with no traffice except the residents that live on this side of the lake. We have learned alot about the history of the lake and surrounding property from those that have lived on the lake all their lives. Our neighbors are great. If you need anything they are able to help or know someone that could. At night you can see all the stars."

    "I live here and am dismayed by the increasing amount of disrespectful people who visit the area. They bring multiple dogs, let them run without a leash, poop and pee without cleaning messes up, don't care if their dogs kick sand in your face or knock you down. These non-residents don't observe “No Parking�? signs and think that laws don't apply to them. They smoke cigarettes and leave their butts all over the place along with a multitude of beer cans. These visitors set off fireworks in the early morning hours (i.e. 1-2 am) with no regard of endangering people and property much less disturbing the peace. Many fireworks dangerously land on rooftops. The police do not patrol the area and get annoyed if residents ask for law enforcement. This is not a good area to invest your money unless Benton Township starts being more proactive."
