Overview

RARE NEW BUFFALO SHORT-TERM RENTAL OPPORTUNITY! BLOCK OUT YOUR OWN DATES AND RENT THE REST! Enjoy the flexibility of owning a furnished vacation getaway with established rental history in one of New Buffalo's most desirable downtown locations. With new short-term rentals restricted in residential zoning districts, opportunities to purchase an established STR are increasingly limited. This charming circa-1890 Victorian is just steps from downtown restaurants, shopping, the marina, Amtrak station and Lake Michigan beach. Featuring 5 bedrooms and 4.5 baths across three finished levels, the home offers plenty of space for family getaways, entertaining and rental guests. A main-level bedroom with its own full bath, flexible den and finished third floor provide versatile accommodations. Outdoor living includes a covered front porch, side porch, screened back porch, deck and outdoor shower. A rare 5-car garage is an exceptional convenience in downtown New Buffalo!

What to ask about this one

Three questions worth putting to the listing side before you write anything. They are specific to this property, not a checklist.

1. 01

   Confirm critical dune and high-risk erosion mapping on the parcel

2. 02

   Ask for any EGLE permits covering beach stairs or shore protection

3. 03

   Budget for a pre-1978 inspection — lead paint, knob-and-tube, and the roof

4. 04

   Ask what the taxable value uncaps to after the sale, not what the seller pays now
