Classic Pied a Terre

Summary:

This bright, second-story loft apartment exudes a mid-century flair reminiscent of television’s Mad Men. Impeccably finished and located front and centre in the Benton Harbour Arts District, the “corner office” overlooks Arts Park and is a stone’s throw from the Golf Club at Harbour Shores and the beaches of Lake Michigan. Newly created in 2022, the 900sf loft is one of nine apartments located just steps away from the area’s favourite lunch and breakfast venue, the Mason Jar Cafe.



The Space:

900 sf of urban industrial elegance overlooking the city of Benton Harbour. Centrally located between Whirlpool’s Lakeview and Riverview campuses and a short drive to Corewell Lakeland Regional Health Centre. Custom cabinetry, granite counters, polished concrete floors… exposed steel ceilings, and ductwork. Full laundry. Central air.



Guest Access:

The loft is located in a Renaissance area featuring restaurants, galleries, and attractive green spaces. Lake Michigan is just a mile away. Dedicated off-street parking. This is a 2nd storey “walk-up”… stairs only, no lift.



The Area:

The Arts District is a walkable Renaissance area that has evolved slowly over a span of nearly twenty years.  A bit edgy...perhaps mysterious.  We’re a very short walk to the Mason Jar Cafe, Verde Juice Box, the Houndstooth Restaurant, Forte Coffee, Anemel Tortaria, the Livery Brew Pub, and Water Street Glassworks, as well as several studios and galleries.  The District is a work in progress - First-time visitors may find the area on the quiet side, but the future of the area is exciting and continues to attract creative pioneers and investors that add to the historic urban vibe.  Your visit helps build our storey!



We’re just one mile from Whirlpool’s Riverview Campus and right around the corner from the Golf Club at Harbour Shores, home of the Senior PGA.  The sandy beaches of Jean Klock Park along Lake Michigan are a short drive away and offer beachgoers the most expansive sandy beach in the area. St. Joseph is just across the river, offering additional dining and shopping destinations.



Getting Around:

The Arts District area is roughly 5 square blocks - its easy to explore on foot. St. Joseph, Lake Michigan and other local sites can be reached in 5-10 minutes by car.



Other Things to Note:

The loft shares an exterior entrance and hallway with 3 other apartments.



Renovations are underway in the commercial space downstairs through the end of May, so please be aware that there may be some sounds of construction during the day.



Please respect out quiet hours from 10pm to 7am.
