Description

Locals know this location is nearly impossible to find. Ideally situated just south of the South Haven channel, this property offers stunning lighthouse, channel & beach views. The expansive beach creates a vibrant setting, perfect for boat watching, people watching & enjoying summer fireworks. This iconic home was once a convent for St. Basil's Catholic Church which still owns hundreds of feet of adjoining Lake Michigan frontage to the south. Enjoy an incredibly short distance to downtown South Haven, the channel, marinas, and shopping. The home blends character & updates with the south portion being a more recent addition and the north side featuring original charm along with a new gourmet kitchen. The kitchen is equipped with a six burner gas stove with griddle, double Wolf ovens, two KitchenAid dishwashers, granite counters, a wine chiller, ice maker & oak hardwood floors, all complemented by great lake views. Could be split into 3 parcels. Could be a great wedding venue/B&B Relax in the enclosed porch on the north end or take in the scenery from the upper balcony off the newer primary suite. The newer spacious upstairs primary suite includes two large sitting areas, a jetted tub, travertine flooring and shower, two oversized walk in closets, and private lakeside decking. While the home offers an opportunity for some updating, the location is truly unmatched, perched above South Beach and just minutes to downtown by foot or bicycle. Additional features include a possible sixth bedroom in the attic that sleeps up to 12, a unique lower level bar, and a wine cellar, making this charming and spacious home one you may never want to leave. South Beach was just voted the #1 of top 10 Best Beaches in Michigan by USA Today. Located just south of the South Pier and South Haven's historic red lighthouse, South Beach is known for its wide sandy shoreline, walkable access to downtown, and one of the most recognizable views on Michigan's west coast - the South Haven Lighthouse and catwalk. For more than 100 years, South Haven has been a place where families come to make summer memories, and South Beach remains one of the most beloved parts of that tradition. Lifeguards on duty in 2026. South Beach amenities include a playground, splash pad, concession stand, kayak and paddle board rentals, and six life jacket loaner stations. 456 Monroe is currently zoned R-1A, and the dimensional standards for the R-1A district are as follows: Min front yard setback 15 feet, subject to Section 404(1) Min side yard setback 5 feet per side, 15 feet total Min rear yard setback 25 feet Min lot area is 5,000 sq feet Min lot width is 50 feet Max lot coverage is 35% Min green space is 20% Max building heigh is 35 feet or 2 stories, whichever is less, subject to Section 404 (2) Tearing down for 3 lots is possible, we believe (Two 60' lots and an 80' lot on north). Or possibly getting zoning for a wedding venue with B&B. But no guarantees by listing agent.
