308 S Barker Street

This home will take you back to the 1950s. It is a Bungalow in design and layout but it is literally a much better house today than when it was first built because it has modern new plumbing, electric, HVAC, insulation, roof, bathroom fixtures, and appliances. It is a new house in an old frame. A second added bath upstairs. Oak and Pine floors that look new. . The house is on a large 132' by 132' corner lot with many mature trees across from a subdivision of newer houses. A 30' by 50' separate building foundation (see photos) can become the base for a 20' by 40' in ground pool, a pickle ball court, a workshop, or a place for your car collection. A hidden Grotto (some people who have looked at the property never found it; see photos) has been created from an underground stream. It is a unique place to sit, watch the water pass by and become totally separated from your everyday life. Within a half mile (I call that "walking distance") you have a full service grocery, beer, liquor, and wine store, three popular restaurants serving interesting quisines, a coffee-deli hangout place, fun shops, a drug store and a very friendly library with WIFI. You have a permit to Park Free at the huge, beautiful New Buffalo City Lake Michigan sandy beach with public bathrooms. There is an AMTRAK station in New Buffalo for the trains that travel between Chicago and Detroit. (See photo) Your friends can take the train from Chicago to visit you. Think about trip on the train to Michigan University for a ball game or an hour drive to Notre Dame University for one of their ball games. "Harbor Country" is a triangle that starts at the Indiana line, goes north to Bridgman, then south to Three Oaks where the Vickers Theatre presents fine art movies year round and the Acorn Theatre has live music every weekend year round.
