Modern Beach Bungalow, Hot tub, Firepit, Foosball, IN Dunes Nat'l Park

Escape to comfort and convenience with this inviting, fully-equipped Smart Home nestled at the end of a quiet street near the Indiana Dunes National Park. This modern farmhouse-inspired home, just steps from a scenic park access trail, provides easy access to the stunning sugar-sand beach with views of the Chicago skyline. The short, picturesque trail leading to the beach takes about ten to twelve minutes, winding through beautiful natural settings and past Historic Chanute Hill.

Inside, enjoy a sunlit, open-concept kitchen equipped with everything needed to prepare meals for family and friends, including a gas oven, dishwasher, fridge/freezer with filtered water and an ice-maker, and island seating for four. Coffee lovers will appreciate the Nespresso and Keurig machines, complete with complimentary coffee pods, alongside all the cookware, dishware, and essentials for easy living.

The spacious living and dining area includes a cozy sleeper sofa, a 55” Smart TV, and a farmhouse-style dining table for eight.

The main floor offers three bedrooms (king, queen, and a bunk room with twin XL over queen bed), a full bathroom, and half bathroom. Each bedroom includes a Smart TV, nightstands with sleep machines, and closet space. Linens, towels, shampoo, conditioner, and body wash are all provided for your convenience.

Downstairs, the finished basement rec room is perfect for relaxation and entertainment, featuring a 70” Smart TV, sound bar, foosball table, and a large sofa. Additional entertainment options include books, games, and DVDs, along with an extra dining table (seating for 8) for crafts or board games. Laundry is easy with a pureWash Pro activated oxygen (ozone) washer, eliminating the need for bleach, detergent, and fabric softeners.
