About Leslie Marsh
Hi, my name is Leslie. I'm a wife, mom and interior designer. I've used my experience working with clients to design a vacation home that is comfortable and relaxed. My hope is that you will feel at home while you are here, only better because you're on vacation! My husband Brent and I have been vacationing in and around South Haven for years. Family trips with our now-grown boys, girls' weekends, couples trips and now with daughters-in-law. We truly love the area and are happy to share our home with other families looking for an escape to relax, recharge and explore. We have already started making our family memories here. We hope you will too.
Leslie Marsh purchased this house in 2017
Why Leslie Marsh chose South Haven
We had been looking all over southwest Michigan for the right house that was big enough for our family and a few friends. We have always loved South Haven and kept coming back to see what was available. This house was perfect! Nice quiet neighborhood, plenty of space (but not too much) inside and out and move in ready. Our realtor found it for us, there wasn't even a sign in the yard. Must have been meant to be!
What makes this house unique
It was love at first sight for me when I saw the front porch and adorable dormers. I also loved that the house sits between two homes on double lots so we're not a squished as some of the homes in town. The layout of the house is such that you don't feel on top of each other, even with a full house. The outdoor areas really help expand the space. You'll find me in the warmer months enjoying the front porch swing, a Mother's Day gift from our boys and their wives. It's the perfect spot for morning coffee or a glass of wine. The back deck more private and a great place for dinner and beyond. Tiki torches add ambiance at night and the umbrella adds shade during the day. We have a variety of games, for both inside and outside. For outside we have a badminton net and rackets, Yard Darts, Bocce, SpikeBall. Inside there is a variety of board and card games.
