RARE NEW BUFFALO SHORT-TERM RENTAL OPPORTUNITY! BLOCK OUT YOUR OWN DATES AND RENT THE REST! Enjoy the flexibility of owning a furnished vacation getaway with established rental history in one of New Buffalo's most desirable downtown locations. With new short-term rentals restricted in residential zoning districts, opportunities to purchase an established STR are increasingly limited. This charming circa-1890 Victorian is just steps from downtown restaurants, shopping, the marina, Amtrak station and Lake Michigan beach. Featuring 5 bedrooms and 4.5 baths across three finished levels, the home offers plenty of space for family getaways, entertaining and rental guests. A main-level bedroom with its own full bath, flexible den and finished third floor provide versatile accommodations. Outdoor living includes a covered front porch, side porch, screened back porch, deck and outdoor shower. A rare 5-car garage is an exceptional convenience in downtown New Buffalo! Historic charm meets modern updates with newer HVAC, plumbing, electrical, replacement windows and doors, and a 2018 roof. Detailed millwork, crown molding and substantial trim preserve the home's Victorian character. FULLY FURNISHED WITH ESTABLISHED RENTAL HISTORY! Whether you're looking for your own Lake Michigan retreat, rental income potential or both, this property offers a unique opportunity in the heart of New Buffalo. Buyer to verify STR eligibility, permit renewal requirements and zoning with the City.
