Riverside House | The Thomson House - 1912 restored historic lakeview home with large 34' Pool

5 Bedroom House in Riverside, Benton Harbor

While away your vacation in St. Joe/Benton Harbor at one of the oldest homes in Hagar Township. The home was grandly modified from a farmhouse into the lake home of Al Capone’s attorney in the 1920’s.
The main house has nearly 3000 square feet and a 900 foot basement. It’s comes fully furnished as the vacation home of a Chicago family. Much of the space is left for a massive ground floor with plenty of space for entertaining. The house boasts new floors, kitchen, baths and updated amenities. There is a master bedroom, three bedrooms and an attic with a bunk bed and two singles.
A brand new heated pool 16x34 is ready to enjoy everyday (especially those non-beach days). Poolside you'll enjoy pool house with tv and air conditioning. A jacuzzi is also right there for a nice wind-down at night. A gas grill is also ready to use right outside the kitchen.
Enjoy two landscaped acres for dogs and kids. Mature trees abound and wonderful lake views are directly in front of the house. Enjoy the fire pit at night with a perfect view of the lake.
Also, the coach house provides parking for 1 and ample storage for the pool toys, games, balls and other amenities.
The house has plenty of outside parking for up to 8 cars if needed. While 300 feet from the bluff, the house does not have legal lake access. Hagar Beach (the township's public beach & park with great amenities for kids) is 1-2 miles north with quick access to a large, lower bank beach. Additionally, we recommend Jean Klock Beach 3 miles to the south.

Summary: This home is as advertised and the pictures are accurate, lots of room and very well equipped, the kitchen is very modern and has everything and some, it even had a fly swatter when we needed it. Our two year old grandson loved all the sun room toys. The patio is very spacious plenty of chairs, lounges etc. Lots of pool items too. We used the guest house because we had a pet, the guest house is no where near as nice as the main house...but at least we were able to bring all our family. We had to ask Wes (owner) a few questions during our stay and he replied very promptly. Tips for future renters: there is plenty of wood for the fire pit, but it is not split...I always bring my axe and sledge glad I did.
