Description

Welcome to our kept-secret beach-front community. A serene Indiana Dunes cottage situated on the bank of Calumet Lagoon. Short walk to Lake Michigan Beaches and Marquette Park (Lake Front Park) in Miller Beach. Just 40 Miles from Downtown Chicago. Newly remodeled, this cottage has 4 nice-sized bedrooms, 1 full bath, dining area, small backyard patio, and attached garage. Jumbo windows in living room overlooking the lagoon. Fantastic brick wood-burning fireplace. Walk out your front door, through the park, approx. 2-3 blocks, to one of Lake Michigan's most beautiful beaches--Marquette Beach, where you will discover photographic sunsets, view of Chicago skyline across the lake, and wild natural sand dune... Or launch your water jet ski at Lake Street Beach, which is also just a few blocks away. Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore is comprised of thousands of acres of lakeshore wilderness. (Excellent opportunities for bird-watching.) The cottage is also within short walking distance to Patterson Island, and the national registered Aquatorium Bathhouse. Accommodate up to 8-10 people. Owner is a licensed real estate broker.
