Property Description
South Beach was just voted the #1 of top 10 Best Beaches in Michigan by USA Today. Located just south of the South Pier and South Haven's historic red lighthouse, South Beach is known for its wide sandy shoreline, walkable access to downtown, and one of the most recognizable views on Michigan's west coast - the South Haven Lighthouse and catwalk. For more than 100 years, South Haven has been a place where families come to make summer memories, and South Beach remains one of the most beloved parts of that tradition. Lifeguards on duty in 2026. South Beach amenities include a playground, splash pad, concession stand, kayak and paddle board rentals, and six life jacket loaner stations.
456 Monroe is currently zoned R-1A, and the dimensional standards for the R-1A district are as follows:
Min front yard setback 15 feet, subject to Section 404(1)
Min side yard setback 5 feet per side, 15 feet total
Min rear yard setback 25 feet
Min lot area is 5,000 sq feet
Min lot width is 50 feet
Max lot coverage is 35%
Min green space is 20%
Max building heigh is 35 feet or 2 stories, whichever is less, subject to Section 404 (2)
Tearing down for 3 lots is possible, we believe (Two 60' lots and an 80' lot on north). Or possibly getting zoning for a wedding venue with B&B. But no guarantees by listing agent. Relax in the enclosed porch on the north end or take in the scenery from the upper balcony off the newer primary suite. The newer spacious upstairs primary suite includes two large sitting areas, a jetted tub, travertine flooring and shower, two oversized walk in closets, and private lakeside decking. While the home offers an opportunity for some updating, the location is truly unmatched, perched above South Beach and just minutes to downtown by foot or bicycle. Additional features include a possible sixth bedroom in the attic that sleeps up to 12, a unique lower level bar, and a wine cellar, making this charming and spacious home one you may never want to leave.
