Charming Historic Cottage with River Views, Boat Slip & Rental Potential! Discover the perfect vacation retreat in the heart of Saugatuck. Originally built in 1885 and thoughtfully restored in the 1980s with new foundation, updated electrical, mechanical systems, and plumbing, this classic cottage blends timeless charm with modern convenience. Ideally located west of the river between Mount Baldhead and iconic Oval Beach, the home offers stunning river views and includes a perpetually leased boat slip from the City of Saugatuck—an incredible and rare amenity. Set into the side of a dune, the home features four distinct levels, offering 4 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, and a half bath on the third floor. Outdoor living is just as inviting, with multiple patios and seating areas designed to take full advantage of the serene, natural setting. Step outside your front door and take a scenic hike to Oval Beach or the Oxbow Lagoon, or skip the car and hop on the historic Chain Ferry for a short ride into town for dinner, shopping, or a show. The attached two-car garage provides ample storage for your bikes, beach gear, golf cart, or vehicles. Best of all, this zoning district still has available short-term rental licenses, making this an excellent option for those looking to generate income when not enjoying the home themselves. Whether you're boating, biking, hosting guests, or just relaxing by the water, this property offers a rare blend of location, history, and lifestyle.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
