Dream of living by the lake? This gem has a sunny snuggled private bistro like courtyard that is hidden from the road. It has the desirable main floor bedroom and full bath. The 2nd floor offers many options from sleeping arrangements for guests, (3 bedrooms) to office space. A natural wood burning fireplace, wet bar and a view from every window awaits! The dry basement storage is ample and is studded out for an additional bathroom. This custom built home, with exquisite artisan woodwork, has been maintained and cared for. The property has historical significance which is documented. The owners recently received the town's ERG award for park restoration with native plants. The parklike setting on almost an acre affords an expansive playground for everyone that enjoys nature or those reunions. The town is surrounded by the Indiana Dunes Lake shore National Park, which was established in 2019. Escape to Beverly Shores, a town of approximately 600 residents, (a dark sky community). You will be welcomed with various associations, clubs and recreational opportunities for both young and old. Easy access to the South Shore train. Enjoy your morning coffee on the flower terraced patio and your evening barbecue on the back deck. The very short walk to the lake lakefront is the "piece de resistance."
