MILLER BEACH COTTAGE ON TWO LOTS! Discover a rare opportunity to own a spacious 4 bedroom, 2 full bath versatile beach retreat on an impressive 12,500-square-foot lot, just a 5-minute walk to the beach. With more than 2,000 square feet of finished living space, this unique property blends laid-back coastal charm with the space and functionality you need for year-round living or the ultimate weekend getaway. Inside, the home offers a flexible layout with generous living spaces and a walkout lower level featuring two additional rooms that could easily serve as bedrooms, guest accommodations, office space, or recreation areas. Outside, you'll find two oversized decks, a fully fenced yard, side driveway, storage shed, and plenty of room to relax, entertain, garden, or simply enjoy the beach-town lifestyle. This home has a huge grass area for the kids or adults to hand out, located next to the home. Sit on the deck to relax, shoot some hoops or play in the sandbox. Major improvements including roofing, electrical, plumbing, gutters, and basement updates add peace of mind while preserving the character that makes Miller Beach so special. And then there's the location. Trade the crowded Florida beaches for the unique charm of Miller Beach, where you can enjoy beautiful, shark-free Lake Michigan beaches, hiking trails, spectacular bird watching, and easy access to the Indiana Dunes National Park. Explore the neighborhood's distinctive character and the legacy of Nelson Algren, then come home to your own private retreat. There simply isn't another property quite like this one in the National Park area. Whether you're looking for a full-time residence, vacation home, or weekend escape, this Miller Beach cottage offers space, character, and an unbeatable connection to the lake and nature.
