Property Description
AWESOME OPPORTUNITY IN MILLER BEACH!! BRING YOUR VISION AND IMAGINATION!! This unique 3-bedroom, 2-bath, 1,480 sq. ft. 2-story home has been COMPLETELY GUTTED AND IS READY FOR ITS NEXT CHAPTER! All the hard work of demolition has already been done, leaving a blank canvas for a builder, investor, or ambitious buyer to transform this one-of-a-kind property into something truly special! The existing floor plan offers a living room, dining room, kitchen, office, and full bath on the main level, with 3 bedrooms and an additional bath upstairs. A walkout basement adds even more possibilities! But what really makes this property exciting is its INCREDIBLE SETTING! Perched high on a wooded sand dune, just a few blocks (480 yards) from beautiful Lake Michigan and its famous singing sand beaches, this home offers a setting that's hard to duplicate! Enjoy TWO separate elevated decks, an additional ground-level deck, and multiple outdoor living areas with endless possibilities for entertaining, fire pits, pet runs, or simply relaxing among the trees. Additional off-street guest parking is another bonus! Imagine creating your own private beach retreat, year-round residence, or investment property in the lakefront community of Miller Beach! THE POSSIBILITIES ARE ENDLESS, THE LOCATION IS FANTASTIC, AND THE OPPORTUNITY IS REAL! Bring your contractor, your creativity, and your vision to make this very cool property something extraordinary! Miller Beach is a quaint, eclectic beach community offering charming boutique shops and restaurants in its downtown district, along with convenient access to Chicago via the South Shore Train and major highways and of course....some of the most spectacular beaches on Lake Michigan's South Shore! If you've been dreaming of a beachside lifestyle, this is your opportunity. Contact your Agent TODAY to schedule your personal showing!
