Step into history with this 1934 brick colonial, nestled just blocks from Eastern Michigan University in the coveted College Heights neighborhood. This one-of-a-kind home is eligible for historical designation by the City of Ypsilanti, with its rich story preserved through original blueprints and ownership records. Constructed using reclaimed brick from the Detroit Stove Works Factory, this home is as sturdy as it is special. Inside, you'll find hardwood floors throughout, a wide staircase, and an open upper hallway full of natural light. The interior is solid and full of character, simply awaiting your refresh. Unique features include an original farmhouse sink, a coal bin in the workshop, and a garage rumored to be the oldest standing structure in the area - once serving as a carriage house. Recent updates include: Roof (2020); Partial copper plumbing; PVC sewer line to city storm drain; Updated floor drain; Electric is fuse-based (no knob & tube). This is a rare opportunity to own a piece of Ypsilanti's past and shape its next chapter
