Welcome to Harbor Village where Coastal Charm Meets Investment Opportunity Nestled in the heart of the trendy Harbor Shores community, this exceptional single family home offers a rare chance to own a short-term rentable retreat just steps from the marina. With homes in this sought-after enclave seldom hitting the market, now is your chance to claim your slice of Lake Michigan paradise. From the welcoming front porch with partial marina views to the soaring 10' volume ceilings and sleek hardwood floors, every detail of the main floor exudes designer sophistication. The gourmet kitchen is a culinary showpiece, featuring premium KitchenAid appliances and rich solid wood cabinetry, perfect for both quiet meals and entertaining guests. Just off the main living area, you will find a fenced in side yard, with a gathering/dining area perfect for a firepit to warm up or roast some smores on those starry summer nights. Upstairs, the luxurious primary en-suite offers a private retreat, complemented by two additional bedrooms, a shared full bath, and convenient laundry. Just across the street, enjoy easy access to the community clubhouse and pool, ideal for relaxing afternoons or lively gatherings. The 5-foot crawlspace and oversized two-car garage provide ample storage for beach gear, kayaks, and bikes. And with the beach only a stone's throw away, lake life is always at your fingertips. This vibrant community includes a 5-star hotel, waterfront restaurant, and tiki bar, complete with bike and boat rentals. Let the sounds of live music from weekly hotel concerts paired with unforgettable sunset views be the soundtrack to your evenings. Live steps from the Jack Nicklaus Signature Golf Course, the scenic kayak launch, miles of walking trails, downtown St. Joseph, and the Whirlpool campus just a short walk across a charming pedestrian bridge. This is also a golf cart friendly community, making it even easier for a quick trip to the beach or nearby restaurants. Whether you're seeking a permanent residence, vacation getaway, or income-producing short-term rental, this opportunity delivers on every front. For those looking for a turnkey purchase experience (for an additional cost), the home is available fully furnished with everything included right down to the linens and cookware.
