A View That Feels Like Paradise
The very best part of this home is its location and the wonderful feeling you get when you step outside. It’s truly a paradise! The house sits on a big, fenced-in piece of land—1.65 acres—giving you plenty of space to breathe, play, and just enjoy nature. Being so close to Stone Lake means you get that wonderful waterfront feeling, making the view from your yard peaceful and inviting.
This large lot is perfect for anyone who loves to entertain or who just needs room to stretch out. There are also two useful outbuildings (sheds) on the property, giving you great storage or perhaps a space for a workshop or hobbies.
Full of Character and History
When you walk through the front door, you’ll feel the history of this home right away. It’s a charming old house, built with strong materials like stone, and you’ll immediately notice the unique character that only a home from 1920 can offer. It’s categorized as having a Historic Architectural style, and it shows in the lovely details.
One feature I absolutely love is the slate roof. That’s a classic, long-lasting, and beautiful touch that you simply don’t find in newer homes. Inside, you’ll find some original fixtures that remind you of the house’s long life and history. The flooring is a lovely mix of wood and ceramic tile, adding to that old-world charm. Imagine curling up next to the fireplace in the living room on a chilly evening!
Plenty of Space for Everyone
With 4 large bedrooms and 3 bathrooms (2 full and 1 half), this three-story house has tons of space for a big family or for guests. The primary bedroom is a generous size at $14 \text{ ft} \times 16 \text{ ft}$ and is located on the second floor, along with two other large bedrooms. The fourth bedroom is even bigger at $12 \text{ ft} \times 20 \text{ ft}$ and is tucked away on the third floor, making it a perfect private space, maybe for a teenager or a home office.
The total interior space is a huge 3,454 square feet, so you certainly won’t run out of room for your belongings, which is helped by the fact that the house also offers plenty of storage space. And for a truly unique feature, this old house even has a safe room in the Michigan Basement—what a fascinating piece of history and security all in one!
Important Updates Already Done
While this is a lovely old home, it’s also been well cared for, and many important updates have been taken care of by the current owners. This is the best of both worlds: old-house charm with modern peace of mind!
You’ll be happy to know that the furnace and the water heater were both newer in 2019, and most of the windows were also updated in 2021 with newer, insulated windows. This means you can enjoy the classic look without worrying about the major systems. The home is heated by Forced Air, and it has public sewer and public water connections. The appliances you see, including the dishwasher, dryer, microwave, oven, range, refrigerator, and washer, are all included in the sale.
This is a rare opportunity to own a charming, big, historic home on a large property near the water. It’s ready for you to move in and start making your own memories.
