Tucked among the whispering pines of Michiana Shores, this renovated single-level retreat blends modern simplicity with the soul of a woodland cottage. The new exterior -- crisp white siding, handsome cedar garage doors, and curated landscaping -- sets a quietly contemporary tone that fits right into the forest. Inside, sunlight filters through vaulted beams in the living room, where a stone fireplace and picture windows create a calm, inviting space that feels like a warm embrace. A newly designed kitchen with movable island and wood floors flows easily to a screened porch so generous it feels like its own summer house. Out back, a fenced, private garden is a hidden haven -- surrounded by trees, invisible from the street, and alive with birdsong. The finished lower level extends the home's versatility with room for guests, office, recreation, and workshop space. The oversize garage accommodates two cars, a golf cart, and another workshop for hobbies or projects. Just a short walk or bike ride to the beach and shoreline parks, this home captures everything people love about Michiana Shores -- a rhythm of lake breezes, forest light, and quiet luxury only an hour from Chicago.
