About this property
Malabar: Downtown Saugatuck Cottage, Fire Pit, Pet Friendly, Sun Room, Porch
Malabar
Formerly known as Bella on Butler, this home was given a facelift for the 2019 season. All new paint, furniture, artwork, and more.
Located in the heart of downtown, everything will be at your fingertips. Take a flat, easy walk to all the shops, restaurants, galleries, parks, and the waterfront boardwalk. From a casual breakfast diner to a fine dining steakhouse, there is something to eat for everyone. Saugatuck also has a Broadway-quality theater with plays, musicals, concerts, and improv throughout the year.
Malabar means between the mountains and the sea - in this case, the hill and the river. A great spot close enough to the residential area, but also close to the river for watching the endless parade of boats.
Relax on the enclosed front porch with an evening beverage as you watch the world go by. Even in the unfortunate case of rain, this is an ideal place to kick back and enjoy the slower pace. There is also a side porch with seating and a fire pit and BBQ grill just off the drive.
The main level of Malabar has an open floor plan. Beautiful hues of blue surround and make the space feel calm. Basic kitchen offers plenty of supplies to create a quick breakfast or a fantastic meal at home. Adjacent dining space is bright and welcoming with enough space to gather. The living room has a flat-screen Smart TV for streaming your favorite shows and a sofa sleeper for extra space for guests. This level also has a full bathroom with a shower and a laundry room.
Head upstairs where you can retreat for the evening. Three comfortable bedrooms for all your loved ones. King-size bedroom faces the east and provides great sunlight in the morning. Southern facing bedroom has a queen bed and the northern bedroom has two bunk beds. This level also has a full bathroom.
If the shore of Lake Michigan is calling your name, it's only a 7-minute drive to our famous Oval Beach. For a great day of hiking, we recommend the Saugatuck Dune State Park.
However you decide to spend your getaway to Saugatuck, Malabar will become your yearly tradition.
Please Note:
All bedrooms are upstairs. There is a full and a twin sofa sleeper in the living room for your use.
This home is downtown Saugatuck an easy walk to all the shops, restaurants, galleries, and the waterfront boardwalk.
