Set among sweeping dune grasses and majestic pines, this inviting Grand Beach retreat captures the unmistakable feeling of arriving at your beach house. An expansive Living Level unfolds into a light-filled great room where the living, dining and kitchen areas extend naturally to a sunroom, deck overlooking the pool, and a sunset deck shared with the primary suite. The spacious primary suite offers two walk-in closets, a generous bath and direct access to the west-facing deck. Three additional guest bedrooms, two full baths, a service bar with prep sink and integrated laundry support effortless entertaining, with a screened outdoor living and dining room, pool and patio beyond. The Lower Level offers recreation space, a Guest Bunk Retreat and fourth full bath. An oversized two-car garage provides room for beach gear, bikes and a golf cart. Leave the car behind with easy access to beaches, golf, tennis, playgrounds and nature preserves, or bike the Marquette Greenway into New Buffalo. Property can be sold turn key minus Seller's Exclusions.
