New Buffalo Riviera Price Reduction

New Buffalo Riviera Price ReductionTake a closer look at this price reduction in New Buffalo's Riviera. This home is across the street from the best beach in New Buffalo, and has a wonderful swimming pool. The Riviera offers nearly 1 mile of private association beach, and 125 acres of wetland preserve for boating, fishing, and wildlife watching. This is a 5 bedroom home, so there is plenty of room for you and your guests. If you are looking for a motivated seller in todays market, look no further than 11696 Marquette. The exterior paint color is questionable, and the kitchen needs updating, but I feel this is one of the better opportunities listed today. Please contact me for additional information.

Union Pier New Construction

If you have been looking for a new home close to the beach, you will know there are few options available. Most of the newer construction sits on the south side of Red Arrow Hwy, in subdivision type develpments. The one exception to this is the home at 10258 Apple Dr in Union Pier. This new construction by Boxwood Creek homes has everything that most buyers are looking for. It is in the heart of Union Pier in the Gordon's Beach neighborhood, just a short walk from a wonderful beach. This home has all the charm and character that you imagine when you dream of your place in Harbor Country. With a shortage of new construction options close to the beach, I expect this home will be under contract shortly. If this sounds interesting to you, please make it a point to see this one soon!
