Welcome to your peaceful escape in Miller Beach, where your backyard meets the serene Indiana Dunes Nat'l Park, providing privacy & a direct connection to nature. This airy Cape Cod-style home perfectly captures the beachy vibe of its location. Nestled on a quiet street just 1 mile from the new South Shore train station - with express service to Chicago's Millennium Park in just 45 minutes - about a mile from Lake Street Beach & Marquette Park, & 2 blocks from local trailheads. Inside, the home is bright & breezy thanks to new windows that provide an abundance of natural light & refreshing cross-breeze - helping to keep summer cooling costs low. Recent updates include a refreshed kitchen & bathroom, all-new roof decking & shingles, vinyl siding, a 100-amp electrical panel, water heater, & an epoxy-painted basement floor.
