Map & Owner's Profile
Charming Cottage--Walk to Douglas Beach!
Year Purchased: 2003
Why the Owner Chose Douglas
Some close friends of mine also own second homes in the Douglas and Saugatuck communities. With its beautiful beaches, terrific restaurants, and nearby entertainment, Douglas and Saugatuck is worlds away from Chicago!
The Unique Benefits at this House
Living in Chicago doesn't allow me much opportunity to see and actually live with deer, wild Turkey and dozens of species of birds that I've encountered while in Douglas. The cottage is close to the beautiful beaches of Lake Michigan where the waters are warmer and really are a more beautiful shade of blue than I see in Chicago!
2 blocks west of Lake Michigan, within a 10 minute walk to the Douglas Public Beach
2 blocks east of Lake Michigan shore. 10 minute walk to Douglas Public Beach.
Owner's Map of Douglas
My career managing a tourism program in Chicago has been exciting and challenging, yet at the same time allows me to learn more about my unique and fascinating city. My greatest pleasure is being with my family-- my daughter and son-in-law, and my two darling and very handsome grandsons. In my free time I enjoy dining at any of the many, many ethnic restaurants around Chicago, going to Jazz clubs, or just relaxing with friends and family at my cottage in Michigan!
