Description

Great location just a five minute stroll to Lake Michigan, a five minute drive to downtown St. Joe, and Lake Michigan views from your primary bedroom! This well cared for home could be lived in as is, or would be an amazing way to invest some sweat equity and really spruce it up. Plenty of natural light shows off the large, cathedral living room, and is begging for a gorgeous Christmas tree this winter. The family room is the perfect place to kick back and watch the Lions play, and the sun room off...Great location just a five minute stroll to Lake Michigan, a five minute drive to downtown St. Joe, and Lake Michigan views from your primary bedroom! This well cared for home could be lived in as is, or would be an amazing way to invest some sweat equity and really spruce it up. Plenty of natural light shows off the large, cathedral living room, and is begging for a gorgeous Christmas tree this winter. The family room is the perfect place to kick back and watch the Lions play, and the sun room off of the back is a great way to enjoy all of the seasons without having to go out. Beautiful wood accents are weaved throughout the home. All bedrooms are upstairs, giving them the best bird's eye view of the lake, and even better - the primary suite has a balcony made for watching sunsets.
