This lovely home is on a corner lot, 3 blocks from the beach, and the perfect backdrop for all your vacation memories. Although my name (owner) is Ellen, we named the house after the Latin meaning of the name of our realtor, Amanda, which is "the one about the be loved," because our house was sitting there on the real estate market, about to be loved by us the moment we opened the door. INSIDE THE HOME Large, comfortable, in-town family house, 3 blocks from the beach, with a well-stocked kitchen. This is a charming older home that has been completely renovated and re-decorated with modern conveniences including WI-FI, (NO WI-FI OFF-SEASON) 2 flat screen smart TVs with DVD players, and Roku (NO CABLE) and A/C. Enjoy the large private yard with a fire pit and level basketball area. There is plenty of space for a group of 10-12 to relax in comfort and style. Don't miss the famous Lake Michigan sunsets!
