Description

Modern Farmhouse Retreat | 4 Bed | 3.5 Bath | Steps to the Beach Just a short stroll to Michiana's beloved Dead End and Stop 40 beaches, this architect-reimagined modern farmhouse offers luxury design and the rare advantage of a full, down-to-the-studs renovation in one of Harbor Country's most sought-after communities. Crisp board-and-batten siding, updated exterior doors, and a welcoming front deck set the tone for a home that blends modern farmhouse charm with relaxed lake life. Inside, vaulted ceilings with exposed beams crown a dramatic great room designed for both everyday living and entertaining. Sunlight pours through expansive windows and folding glass doors that open completely to the deck, creating seamless indoor-outdoor flow. Spacious enough for a dining table seating 20+ yet still intimate for relaxed gatherings, this is a room that adapts effortlessly to any occasion. The relocated kitchen is both stylish and highly functional, featuring quartz countertops, solid wood soft-close cabinetry, custom drawer storage, and all new stainless steel appliances. A chic powder room completes the main-level entertaining area. Two bedrooms are located on the main level, including a serene primary suite with spa-inspired bath. The lower level adds two additional bedrooms and two full bathsincluding a spacious en suite that doubles as a secondary primary suiteplus a large family room with new windows. Highlights include: * Engineered hardwood upstairs, soft neutral carpet below * All new plumbing, electrical, HVAC, insulation, and water heater * New drain tile and sump pump * Rebuilt structural beams and leveled floors * Flexibility to convert the lower-level suite into a garage if desired Outdoor Potential: Beyond its turnkey appeal, the large backyard invites creativity. Enhance privacy with natural landscaping or tall pines, add gathering spaces with a fire pit, tree swing or hammock, or envision a future deck extending from the upper primary suite. With proper approvals, advanced septic technology may also open the door for features such as a plunge pool or expanded outdoor living areasallowing you to create your own slice of heaven. This property blends modern design and rare flexibility--an opportunity rarely found in Michiana--to create your own legacy retreat.
