    Brick gas fireplaceCozy wood-burning fireplaceEnsuite bathExpansive wraparound deckQuiet cul-de-sacStainless appliancesSpacious rec room
    Live where nature meets the lake in beautiful Ogden Dunes. Step out your back door and into the Indiana Dunes National Park--just steps from the sandy shoreline of Lake Michigan. Tucked away on a quiet cul-de-sac, this thoughtfully updated 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath home blends comfort, character, and easy access to the outdoors. The kitchen offers granite counters, stainless appliances, and sliding doors leading to a three-season room that opens to an expansive wraparound deck. The living room and second bedroom connect to outdoor spaces, bringing in natural light and fresh dune air. A cozy wood-burning fireplace anchors the main level, while the spacious rec room features a brick gas fireplace, deck access, and a nearby half bath. Upstairs, the primary suite feels like a private retreat with a fireplace, ensuite bath, walk-in closet, and a brand-new upper deck with sweeping dune views--an ideal spot for morning coffee or sunsets. Recent updates include a partially rebuilt and resurfaced main-level deck, new HVAC, new dishwasher, new washer and dryer, and a new foundation under the three-season room. The previous garage--removed due to disrepair--left a concrete pad ready for a new structure. Hardwood floors throughout and quick access to 90/94 and the South Shore Train make this a perfect balance of tranquility and convenience.
