About this property
1 BLOCK TO TOWN ~ 5 BLOCKS TO BEACH! Leave your car at home for the duration!
This is a beautiful, large, super-clean, newly renovated SIX bedroom home. Formerly used as a Boarding House and a law office, this home was saved and fully rehabbed approximately 15 years ago. There are 4 bedrooms and 2 full baths up (master bath is one of these), 2 bedrooms & 1/2 bath (with washer & dryer), dining room, living room, kitchen down. It sleeps 15 people in beds (4 queens & 7 twins). Additional area down (Living room/foyer) has single convertible beds. 15 adults can sleep in beds, with an additional adult in a sleeper, plus plenty of room for additional children 2 & under.
This lovely historic home was fully remodeled maintaining the character of the 100+ year-old home that it is. In 2009, this home was one of seven homes feature on the SOUTH HAVEN HOSPICE HOME TOUR, a Christmas Holiday home tour featuring 5 or 6 historic homes that the community is invited to tour.
The home offers a nice covered front porch to sit and relax and people watch! Rear of home also has a covered deck to relax and side entry has grill.
1 block from downtown South Haven, about five blocks to Lake Michigan South Beach! Walk to all of the local restaurants and taverns. Bike rental located than 200 yards away. Less than 1/4 mile to Clementine's, Tello's, Maria's, Captain Nemo's, Brick's Corner Pizza, Taste, and Black River Tavern. New restaurant open right across street for breakfast & lunch - 6 Chicks. Less than 1/2 mile to the Idler, York's and Captain Lou's on the river! There are two Antique Malls also within walking distance for the antique lovers! You can walk to the restored South Haven Lighthouse and watch the sunsets! Farmer's Market in Season is only 2 blocks from you and in the winter this is the ice skating arena! The fireworks are a 5 block walk and the parades, including the 4th of July & Blueberry Festival Parade are steps away from you!
There are vineyards 5 or 10 minutes from South Haven, Tulip Festival in Holland (30 minutes), art & craft fairs are all within walking or 3 minute drive. This is one of the most convenient locations for anyone visiting South Haven Festivals!
During our summer season we may choose to rent a minimum of 3 days. If you request a 2 day stay, depending on the calendar and bookings, there may be an additional charge per day. (1/2 of daily rate during stay/day.)
This property is a locally owned home so if a problem arises, help is close by.
