Property Description
Step onto the front porch with your morning coffee and you'll understand the pull of this beautifully renovated 1920 farmhouse. Six bedrooms and 3,466 total sq ft of historic character — tall ceilings, real original hardwood floors, and a cozy living room warmed by a wood-burning stove — meet a top-to-bottom 2025 renovation and remodel all done right. The main floor offers a private primary suite and office, large dining area for comfortable entertaining on those special occasions. Numerous nooks and crannies making living in this historic home unique. Upstairs presents an additional 5 bedrooms, and a reading nook with fresh paint and hallway carpet. Outside, a fenced backyard with garden space and full sun awaits your green thumb, plus an oversized, attached two-car garage and storage shed. Walk to the library, ball fields, coffee shop, and dinner at the Roadhouse — or head out to Crystal Lake, the Betsie River, and the Heritage Trail. Lake Michigan sunsets are just minutes away. Move-in ready with all the character original construction can't replicate. Come see it for yourself.
