This Modern Dune House with California architectural vibes is Move-In Ready and a short walk to Lake Michigan. The building's design (1952) and later addition (1960) have been integrated into the dunescape to maximize the enjoyment of this unique ecological setting. The expansive property encompasses 2 1/2 Lots with a diverse range of recreational outdoor areas such as lawn, native plant & forested areas, large fenced vegetable garden with tool shed & water supply, patios, pathways & a wrap-around deck. An underground, automated sprinkling system has also been installed for convenience. The meticulously maintained home features an open spacious 1st floor plan with rooms for both intimate & large gatherings; a 2nd floor with primary bedroom & ensuite separated for privacy from the other 2 bedrooms by a hallway with bathroom. Numerous windows & doors provide natural light, desirable views & easy access to the outdoors. The majority of windows are Pella with slimline shades between the glass (Anderson windows in the Sunroom). Many beautiful interior design features are original such as the wood siding and built-in cabinets in family room, slate flooring and walnut siding in foyer, and fireplace tile in primary bedroom. Subsequently installed materials are aesthetically compatible and durable, such as porcelain slate-look-alike tile in the sunroom & oak wood flooring in the living-dining room. The primary ensuite was completely renovated in 2011. Systems upgrades include copper plumbing riser (2022), hot water heater (2021), Furnace & AC unit (2019). The beachfront community of Ogden Dunes offers many amenities: access to beach, tennis & basketball courts, soccer fields, hiking trails, parks & playgrounds, community garden, clubs & organizations; police, fire & street departments. Across Hwy12 are 2 beautiful marinas. Easy access to 90/94 to Chicago or at the Entrance, take the South Shore Train to Millennium Park (Fast Rail available).
