About this home
** Home needed work - Long-time seller just wanted it sold, so buyer got a great deal - seller's choice. ** Great opportunity for a 4 BR, 2.1 bath home with "vintage" appeal, 2625 sq. feet on close to 1 acre! Good floor plan here with covered front porch entry, a vestibule plus a large foyer flanked by French doors leading to a formal dining room w/hardwood flrs, and the large wood-beamed living rm w/wood-burning fireplace, built in shelves, cabinets, window seats. Another set of French doors leads to main floor family rm with a wall of windows overlooking that great back yard - beautiful views here - could be seasonal views of Lake Michigan! The kitchen could use some work but has some cute features w/a small butler's pantry and an eating nook. Convenient powder rm also on the main floor. Wander up the pretty wood staircase to a spacious hallway and the 4 bedrooms. Master/primary bedroom has 2 closets. The main hall bath is large and has some original subway tiles and a solid cast iron tub. The 4th bedroom was likely an original "servant's quarters" with its own private bath and a separate rear staircase off the kitchen. Check out that vaulted enclosed porch off the back hall from the kitchen and exit from there to the back patio and pretty yard with some flat useable space (not all treed as some others nearby) an arbor, a shed - great possibilities here for year 'round outdoor fun! Plenty of closets in the home and basement has loads of storage areas, a workshop space, back room could be finished off for rec room, etc. This is a well-loved home by long-time owners but does need some work and updating. Sellers are selling AS IS, cash or conventional financing only. Check this one out and imagine the possibilities! Sellers say Bring us Your Offer!
