456 Monroe Boulevard, South Haven, MI 49090

Features

Locals know this location is nearly impossible to find. Ideally situated just south of the South Haven channel, this property offers stunning lighthouse, channel, and beach views. The expansive beach creates a vibrant setting, perfect for boat watching, people watching, and enjoying summer fireworks. This iconic home was once a convent for St. Basil's Catholic Church, which still owns hundreds of feet of adjoining Lake Michigan frontage to the south. Enjoy an incredibly short distance to downtown South Haven, the channel, marinas, and shopping. The home blends character and updates, with the south portion being a more recent addition and the north side featuring original charm along with a new gourmet kitchen. The kitchen is equipped with a six burner gas stove with griddle, double Wolf ovens, two KitchenAid dishwashers, granite counters, a wine chiller, ice maker, and oak hardwood floors, all complemented by Great Lake views. Relax in the enclosed porch on the north end or take in the scenery from the upper balcony off the newer primary suite. The newer spacious upstairs primary suite includes two large sitting areas, a jetted tub, travertine flooring and shower, two oversized walk in closets, and private lakeside decking. While the home offers an opportunity for some updating, the location is truly unmatched, perched above South Beach and just minutes to downtown by foot or bicycle. Additional features include a possible sixth bedroom in the attic, a unique lower level bar, and a wine cellar, making this charming and spacious home one you may never want to leave.
