About the host
Hosted by Kathleen Johnson
I am a retired high school teacher who has lived in Saugatuck for 40 years. I enjoy spending summer afternoons at the beach, gardening, and sitting on my porch while visiting with friends and family.
Why they chose this property
This historic house was moved from the lumber boomtown of Singapore in the 1860's. We completely restored it in the 1990's and updated everything in 2019.
What makes this property unique
Located in "On the Hill" in downtown Saugatuck. Two blocks from shopping, dining, and dock strolling, playground yet away from it all in a cozy historic neighborhood.
