Heathcote is an 1870 Italianate home built by Captain George Crawford . This home is ideally located in the quiet residential neighborhood called "the hill" , but is steps from the main street of Saugatuck.
The view from the beautiful backyard overlooks the park, tennis court , and basketball court below and looks across the Kalamazoo River to Mt. Baldhead .
Known as the house with the porch , Heathcote has a beautiful front porch complete with table and chairs off the kitchen for your morning coffee, and an incredible screened in porch for cocktails, eating, reading , or just relaxing .
Heathcote has two bedrooms upstairs, one with a queen bed and one with two twin beds. These bedrooms share a full bath, complete with original claw foot tub .
Off the kitchen is an additional "cottage style " bedroom with a full size bed and bath with shower, this can be closed off from the main house .
The living room, dining room and kitchen are newly remodeled , and all the original wood floors redone .
Heathcote's porches and yard are great for summer entertaining (there is even a separate beer fridge ) or for just relaxing after a day at the beach.
