Description
Welcome to Helmer House! This award winning authentic early 1900’s Cottage is the perfect fairytale getaway. The cottage sits on a double lot within walking distance of the many restaurants, galleries, and fine shops that Saugatuck and Douglas have to offer. The home, known locally as Helmer House, has natural wood floors and knotty pine interior. The living room with vaulted ceiling is centered around a sixteen-foot hand-stacked fieldstone fireplace. The home also boasts a three-sided screened porch which is undoubtedly the center of activity in the summer months. Made light and airy with French Cottage Interior Design curated by designer Zach Schupbach this little oasis will transport you to a time gone by when life was simpler and time slowed down. With Douglas Beach only a half-mile away, and Oval Beach just one mile away, it is the perfect place to experience the charm and beauty of the Saugatuck area. The property is surrounded by evergreens making you feel secluded in a forest with the hustle and bustle of Saugatuck and Douglas just moments away. The fall colors are beautiful and the home is particularly cozy in a winter snowstorm. Helmer House was moved from a waterfront location near a marina on the Kalamazoo River, in 1989. Built in the early 1920's, this old family cottage was slated to be torn down to make way for expansion of the marina. Instead, it was rescued and moved less than one mile to its current location. Once the move took place, the interior was completely updated, but the pine floors and original cottage windows were retained. The roof was raised three feet to accommodate a new loft with two bedrooms and a bath on a new second floor. We hope you will find the peace and serenity we find every time we visit Helmer House.
