Residential For Sale

Write your next chapter at this 19th-century gem, where time lingers and the landscape feels literary. Built in 1893, this home rises from its setting with the quiet, enduring confidence of a house surrounded not by neighbors, but by woods and open sky. At its heart, the main level is grounded by a thoughtfully updated kitchen–an anchoring space with an island, quartz countertops, and stainless steel appliances. The living room unfolds with an adjoining flex space, easily imagined as a formal dining room or an expanded living room for long conversations and winter nights. At the north end, a private office offers a place to work or write, while a mudroom with laundry and a separate three-quarter bath quietly completes the main floor weaving practicality with the home’s character. Upstairs, three bedrooms carry the home’s most charming note. The primary suite opens to its own en-suite bath and a private balcony overlooking the fenced backyard and bordering woods–no rooftops, no interruptions. It is a vantage point meant for morning air, evening stillness, and moments of pause. Outside, the property opens into a fenced, private yard. The oversized garage, with an unfinished loft above, offers uncommon scale and possibility: studio, workshop, storage, or something yet unnamed. The chicken coop remains, a fitting nod to the property’s pastoral charm. Though the setting feels removed, the location is strikingly convenient–across from Union Center Elementary, with Wheeler Middle and High Schools just up the road, and quick access to both US-30 and Route 149. Beneath its poetic history, the home has been carefully modernized. Municipal Lake Michigan water, a fully replaced septic system (2018), updated wiring and plumbing, forced-air heating, and central air conditioning. All appliances, including the washer and dryer, remain. A home for those drawn to character, individualism, and stories yet to be written–where the past is felt, but the future is entirely yours.
