About this property

The Porch | Craftsman Charm & Steps to Downtown

  • The Porch — Michigan City

    The Porch is a bright and inviting main-level unit set within a beautiful Craftsman-style home in the heart of Michigan City. Pull up a rocking chair on the spacious brick front porch, take in the neighborhood, and let the day begin.



    THE SPACE

    Step inside and you're immediately wrapped in the kind of warmth that only a home with real history can offer. Tall ceilings, original hardwood floors, rich woodwork, and charming built-ins set the tone — then the modern kitchen brings you right back to today with everything you need to cook, gather, and settle in. Brew your morning coffee, linger over breakfast, and head out on foot to explore some of Michigan City's best restaurants, breweries, and galleries — all just steps from your door.
