Marina Shores Living

“In a marina community, the best amenity is time — time to launch the boat, linger over dinner, or catch the South Shore into the city for a show. This home is built to give it back to you.”

— Bonnie

A Ranch-Style Retreat, Steps from the Docks

Tucked inside Marina Shores, Portage’s gated lakefront enclave, this 4-bedroom ranch delivers more than 3,000 sq ft of finished space—plenty of room for family visits, hobbies, or simply stretching out:

Main Level Lower Level
• Sunlit great room with gas fireplace • 30’-wide recreation room—big-screen ready
• Chef’s kitchen: granite, island seating, stainless appliances • Guest bedroom + full bath
• Primary suite: trey ceiling, oversized walk-in, spa bath with soaking tub & glass-tile shower • Large storage room (or workshop)
• Two additional bedrooms & full bath
• Main-floor laundry with custom cabinetry

Add in an attached 2-car garage, and day-to-day living stays completely on one floor—ideal for aging in place.


Lock-and-Leave Convenience

Marina Shores’ HOA handles the chores—lawn, landscaping, snow, trash, sprinklers, and pool—so weekends are yours to:

  • Stroll to the slips and cast off on Lake Michigan

  • 🍽️ Dine waterfront at the on-site yacht club

  • 🚉 Catch the South Shore (walking distance) for a quick ride into Chicago

  • 🚗 Skip the lawn mower altogether and road-trip to grandkids or warmer shores
