Located in a cul-de-sac near Forest Beach in New Buffalo Township, this brand new home has been completed in 2021, featuring new furnishings, beds, TVs, appliances, and so much more! Enjoy a refreshing dip in the heated pool, or treat your muscles to a relaxing time in the brand new hot tub.

The main living space is located on the second floor and offers a spacious living area with comfortable furniture around the wall-mounted Smart TV, a brand new kitchen purchased in 2021 with Whirlpool appliances, a drip coffee pot/Keurig combo, and a five-person breakfast bar, and a light-filled dining room with a six-person dining table overlooking the pool and backyard. From this level, you will have access to the private backyard where the pool and hot tub are located.

The bedrooms are scattered around the first and third levels of the home. The first level features a nice family room with a sectional in front of a Smart TV, a private bedroom, and a full bath with a standalone shower. The remaining four bedrooms, along with two full baths and a laundry room are located on the upper level of the home. The main bedroom has its own en suite bath with a standalone shower, while the other three bedrooms (one of them being a bunk room) share a full bath in the hallway.

A few important notes: there is a camera facing out from the front door towards the driveway. There are train tracks and a four lane road nearby also and the house is located at the end of a cul de sac with limited traffic.
