About This Home

Exceptional income-producing opportunity in the heart of New Buffalo! This triplex features three units, each with private entrances and individual electric and water services, allowing for efficient management and tenant-paid utilities.

The third unit offers ravine views, one bedroom and one bath on the main level, plus a finished lower level with bedroom, bath, and separate entrance.
