Welcome to 2501 Lakeview Avenue, a hidden gem in the heart of St. Joseph. This deceptively spacious 2-3 bedroom, 1-bath home offers just under 1,600 sq ft of bright, flowing living space and comes with a bonus--an extra buildable lot behind the home (504 Whittlesey Ave). Imagine creating an oversized garage, a dreamy garden oasis, or even a future investment property, all on your own land. Inside unexpectedly large room proportions evoke an airy, open feeling rarely found at this price point. The oversized living room welcomes gatherings of any size and opens to a dining area anchored by a chef-friendly island kitchen, complete with abundant cabinetry, generous prep space, and clear sightlines to the lush deck and backyard. Both bedrooms deliver king-size comfort. Step outdoors to discover a landscaped, yard filled with blooming perennials. Whether you plan to expand, garden, host unforgettable summer barbecues, or simply unwind after a day at the beach, 2501 Lakeview offers unlimited potential--just minutes from Lake Michigan shoreline, downtown shops, and convenient I-94 access.
