Historic Arts District Gastro Loft

Summary:

This newly renovated loft was re-created from a long-neglected space in the historic Sheffield building. A perfect getaway for two, the loft is located above the area’s hottest new restaurant, the Houndstooth. Classic urban finishes - high ceilings, exposed brick, hardwood floors...and an expansive view of City Center Park.  Houndstooth draws diners from as far away as Chicago - a visit to Benton Harbor will not be complete without experiencing the big city fare of this hot spot.



The Space:

Located on the third floor, this bright loft overlooks City Center Park and makes a great place from which to explore surrounding destinations... Lake Michigan is a short drive, downtown St. Joseph is across the River, and the Golf Club at Harbor Shores is just around the corner.



Guests may park in the public parking lot to the rear of the building. In the event that the lot is full, guests may park on the street.



The 650sf loft features an open kitchen/living room, bathroom, and bedroom and includes a stacking washer/dryer. Fully furnished with everything you need to enjoy Southwest Michigan!



Please note the living room couch is not a sofa bed, you can sleep on the couch.



The Neighborhood:

The Arts District is a walkable Renaissance neighborhood that has evolved slowly over a span of nearly twenty years.  A bit edgy...perhaps mysterious.  We’re home to the Mason Jar Cafe, Verde Juice Box, Forte Coffee, the Livery Brew Pub, and Water Street Glassworks, as well as several studios and galleries.  The District is a work in progress - you’ll notice vacant buildings along with those in various stages of renovation. First-time visitors may find the area on the quiet side, but the future of the neighborhood is exciting and continues to attract creative pioneers and investors who add to the historic urban vibe.  Your visit helps build our story!



We’re just one mile from Whirlpool’s Riverview Campus and right around the corner from the Golf Club at Harbor Shores, home of the Senior PGA.  The sandy beaches of Jean Klock Park along Lake Michigan are a short drive away and offer beachgoers the most expansive sandy beach in the area. St. Joseph is just across the river, offering additional dining and shopping destinations.



Getting Around:

The Arts District is roughly 5 square blocks - easy to explore on foot. St. Joe, Lake Michigan and other attractions can be reached in 5-10 minutes by car.



Other Things to Note:

The loft is located two floors above the Houndstooth restaurant, a ‘New American’ bistro that opened in 2019 to rave reviews. The Houndstooth brings farm-fresh, artisan dining to your get-away experience. Shared plates, craft cocktails, and fine wine will blow you away. A romantic covered patio provides guests with an alfresco option during warmer weather. Reservations are strongly recommended!
