955 – 957 W Center Street, Douglas, MI 49406

Welcome to The Gardens, one of the most enchanting and distinctive properties in the greater Saugatuck/Douglas area. Located less than one block from the shores of Lake Michigan, this extraordinary property blends luxury, privacy, nature, and investment potential into one unforgettable offering. Originally the historic Button Gallery, the property was transformed in 2005 into an elegant private residence with a separate, fully private guest retreat. Currently operating as an upscale part-time residence and part-time vacation rental, the possibilities are endless! Live in one residence while generating income from the other, create a multi-generational retreat, or continue as a successful investment property. Surrounded by lush landscaped gardens, mature trees, and flowering bushes, every inch of the property invites relaxation and rejuvenation. Enjoy your morning coffee watching deer and local wildlife wander through the gardens while hearing the soothing sounds of Lake Michigan just a short walk away. Take a morning stroll to nearby Douglas Beach, spend afternoons exploring the lakeshore lifestyle, then return home to evenings soaking in the hot tub, gathering around the fire pit, and relaxing on the custom gazebo swing chairs beneath the stars.

The larger residence features three bedrooms, including a spacious primary suite with ensuite bath, dual vanity, and custom tiled shower. On chilly evenings, prepare dinner in the gourmet kitchen complete with granite countertops, ample cabinetry, and picturesque backyard views, then unwind in the open-concept living and dining area where cozy gathering spaces create the perfect setting after a day spent exploring local boutiques, art galleries, award-winning restaurants, vineyards, and the vibrant Saugatuck lifestyle.

The private guest residence, Lily, offers its own peaceful retreat with a separate patio and garden views. This charming two-bedroom residence features a spacious primary suite with ensuite bath and custom tiled shower, an open-concept living and dining area with gas fireplace, and a separate gourmet kitchen with granite countertops and views of the beautifully landscaped backyard.

Recent upgrades include fresh exterior paint, a new deck, hot tub, custom gazebo swings, and fire pit at the larger residence (955), along with beautifully refreshed interior paint throughout the Lily guest residence (957).

Perfectly located near Oval Beach, Saugatuck Dunes State Park, Mount Baldhead, marinas, bike trails, farmers markets, dune rides, and renowned wineries including Fenn Valley, Modales, and Tanglewood.
