Wooded beach retreat for artists, writers, and sun seekers. | House in Dune Acres
3 Bedroom House in Dune Acres
Nestled amidst towering pines and just steps from the serene shores of Lake Michigan, Jack’s Beachside Book Nook is your idyllic escape from the city’s clamor. This rustic, 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom retreat in the exclusive Dune Acres community offers tranquility, privacy, and breathtaking lake views, just one hour from Downtown Chicago on the sandy shores of Lake Michigan.
This home is perched atop a private hill, just one lot back from the beach. A private staircase down the backside of your hill leads you to a public beach path, only accessible on foot. You may have this section of the beach to yourself for your entire stay!
This home offers 3 simple, comfortable bedrooms - one queen and one double bed on the main floor, and one king bed on the second floor. Massive picture windows look out across the wooded property from the queen bedroom, while the double bedroom offers a seating area. A full bath with a walk-in shower completes the floor. A laundry room & extra fridge in the utility area complete this floor.
Head upstairs to the open living & dining room, with floor to ceiling windows, an enclosed sunroom seating area, and cozy kitchen.
Outside, you'll find a charming pond, seating area, grill, and parking for up to four cars in the driveway.
The community offers tennis & basketball courts, a playground, and another beach access point with permitted parking, within a 5-minute drive. Due to the owner's extensive library, you'll never run out of beach reads. For all of you writers & musicians - the quietude and inspiring surroundings make it the perfect place to spark creativity.
