THE SPACE
“Sumptuous”… “Elegant”… “Rich”… These words come to mind upon setting foot in The Dakota, an exquisitely designed 4BR-2.5BA home nestled on 1½ acres in the serene woods of Union Pier, less than one mile from Lake Michigan’s beaches. Completely renovated in 2014, this stunning property features cathedral ceilings, a Great Room with stone fireplace, Brazilian Cherry (espresso-stained) hardwood floors throughout—with white oak in the bedrooms—and luxurious, yet comfy furnishings in every room.

The spacious kitchen is highlighted by a large granite island, high-end appliances and a stylish bench-seat breakfast nook. A large cozy porch with wall-to-wall windows and fashionable couches, chairs and “picnic table” provides you with great views of the massive backyard and surrounding trees, making it a relaxing oasis to sip coffee or your favorite wine.

Speaking of the backyard, it’s perfect for entertaining, with a fenced, seasonal pool (with outdoor shower and bathroom), a covered wooden deck, outside patio (w/ patio set), eight-person hot tub, barbecue grill, huge lawn and a fire pit.

All 4 bedrooms are large, super-comfortable and professionally styled, and 3 have private decks. There are 2 king rooms, 1 queen room, and the 4th bedroom has a bunk bed w/ trundle to sleep 3 total. Two bathrooms feature granite-topped double-sinks and tiled showers.

Amenities? Within 5 minutes, you can enjoy superb dining, award-winning wineries, back-road bicycling and the hiking trails of Warren Dunes State Park, as well as New Buffalo’s “unique boutique” shopping and the Four Winds Casino. Nearby Three Oaks also offers classy antiques, the Journeyman Distillery and the Acorn Theater. Plus, you’re just over an hour’s drive from Chicago!
