Tucked away on a private lot at the end of the street, Elite Ruffino Retreat offers the ultimate in luxury and relaxation. This 4-bedroom, 3 full bath, 2 half bath home is designed for comfort and entertainment, featuring a heated pool with slide, hot tub, pickleball court, and a serene koi pond.
Inside, the grand entry opens to a spacious TV room with access to the screened porch, perfect for movie nights. Across the hall, a peaceful sitting room invites you to unwind with a book, practice yoga, or catch up on work. The primary suite is a true retreat, boasting a fireplace, workout area, lounging couch, king bed, and a spa-like ensuite with a soaking tub, double vanity, and walk-in shower. This suite also offers direct access to the hot tub and screened porch.
At the heart of the home, the chef’s kitchen is equipped with Viking appliances, a Sub-Zero fridge, a large island with seating for six, and a peninsula with three additional stools—ideal for gathering. The adjacent living room features a grand fireplace, built-in bookshelves, and plush seating. A spacious screened porch extends the entertaining space, complete with lounge seating and a dining table for 12.
Two bedrooms—one with two queen beds and the other with one queen bed—share a Jack and Jill bathroom with a double vanity and tub/shower. A laundry room is also conveniently located nearby. Above the garage, the fourth bedroom offers two queen beds, a full bath with a walk-in shower, and a large sectional couch, making it the perfect space for kids or additional guests.
Outside, the expansive backyard is a private paradise. Enjoy the heated pool with slide, 8-person hot tub, fire pit, treehouse, tetherball, and a lush raspberry grove. The grill area includes a wet bar and mini fridge, while a pool bathroom and outdoor shower add convenience. The pickleball court doubles as a spacious driveway.
Located just a mile from Lake Michigan’s beaches, you’re also a short drive from New Buffalo Public Beach and Warren Dunes State Park. Whether lounging poolside, dining under the stars, or exploring the shores of Lake Michigan, Elite Ruffino Retreat promises an unforgettable getaway.
