728 Lake Street Saugatuck MI 49453 MLS #25046634

Welcome to Lake Street Living— a beautifully updated vintage cottage in downtown Saugatuck which pairs classic character with modern comforts. This 2-bedroom plus loft, 2-bath home with an oversized screened front porch and professionally landscaped yard featuring expansive outdoor amenities is crafted for year‑round relaxation and effortless entertaining. Step inside this storybook cottage and feel immediately at home. Sunlight pours through abundant windows and French doors into a vaulted living area creating a light and airy feeling where the outdoor space truly becomes an extension of the home. The oversized screened front porch invites nearly year-round dining and quiet mornings with coffee. Inside, a versatile loft offers flexible space for a guest or for storage, each bedroom is sized to accommodate either a king or queen bed thus providing options for luxury or space-efficiency, a dedicated media/desk nook supports remote work or hobbies without consuming primary living areas, while two recently updated full baths serve residents and guests with ease. The focal point of the kitchen is a showstopper: a professional-grade six-burner range with a griddle and dual ovens set against a custom Pewabic Pottery tiled-wall, providing both function and artistry. French doors open from the back of the home onto a large-scale deck which flows to a custom outdoor kitchen (2025), large stone patio, and a sunken hot tub – perfect for al fresco meals and evenings with family and friends. A meandering stone walkway leads to a large stone propane fire pit and additional patio, and a games area including a bocce ball court and putting green, all set within lush plantings and mature landscaping which backs to a ridge of beautiful trees. A well-tended lawn with an underground sprinkler system completes this private, country club like setting, completely updated with new landscaping in 2022.

Lake Street Living is located just a short walk from downtown Saugatuck’s art galleries, boutiques, SCA Center for the Arts, Farmer’s Market and restaurants, offering an ideal balance of convenience and tranquility. Enjoy quick access to Saugatuck’s famous Oval Beach and walk to the charming town of Douglas for more dining, shops, and seasonal events.
