Sneak Peek: Charming Cottage at 100 Park Street, Saugatuck, MI 49453

This charming property features a storybook cottage with an in-ground concrete heated pool, custom gardens, and a guest writer's studio. Experience the tranquility of English countryside-inspired gardens, meticulously landscaped to create a private oasis on 1.38 wooded acres in the heart of Saugatuck, flanked by the Kalamazoo River to the east and Lake Michigan to the west. As you enter the gated private drive, the property blends rolling Michigan dunes and old-growth forest with an English country estate ambiance. The cool, dappled forest shade gives way to a warm and bright formal garden and pool.

The main cottage showcases the kitchen and dining areas open to the two-story brick fireplace, with wood-paneled walls and ceiling adding to the rustic charm. Original 1.5" thick wood brick flooring further enhances the interior. Connected by a three-season enclosed porch, you’ll find the master bedroom and attached garage. Enjoy lofted guest bedrooms along with ample storage upstairs.

Across the garden, the tranquil writer’s studio offers 270-degree views of the forest and abundant wildlife from its second-story vantage. A skylight and fireplace enhance the upper-level entertaining space. The ground floor features a well-maintained eight-person cedar sauna and a gym area, accessible via a windowed spiral staircase.

Travertine pool decking and beautiful landscapes surround the pool, providing an inviting space to relax poolside. Located just minutes away from Oval Beach, Mount Baldhead Park, and downtown Saugatuck and Douglas, this property offers convenient access to shopping, dining, and boating options, and is just a two-hour drive from Chicago.

Recent updates include a new roof installed in 2007, some electrical upgrades, and pool equipment updates, including the replacement of the pump and heater about three years ago. The pool is maintained with bromine.

Enjoy a rare opportunity to own a desirable retreat in Saugatuck, offering a private woodland getaway that feels miles away from everything while being only minutes from downtown.
