A House Whisperer has found fabulous possibilities in a quiet corner of the Capitol City. A meticulously restored and maintained historic craftsman style house tucked in a quaint cul de sac within a short walk/bike ride to the heart of the capitol, Old Town and easy access to MSU, airport, I-69 Flint and I-96 Grand Rapids-Detroit corridors. All of the expensive exterior renovations are completed, including carefully scraped and painted siding and trim in historically appropriate colors, replaced roof, gutters and downspouts, and Marvin low-e replacement windows. No detail has been overlooked from the louvered vent covers and clerestory windows on the garage, to the custom metal window grates and charming lighted landscaped path. Oh, the possibilities with the interior - down to studs and subfloor because of a broken water pipe in the upper level! Rev up your creative skills and vision to bring this 4-5-bedroom 2 bath gem back to its glory. Amazing light from large windows, 9 foot ceiling on the main level and previously a large full bath. Walls can be readily removed to improve the layout for modern living. Original refinished oak trim and doors are ready to be reinstalled. Upper landing with custom storage bench and exposed brick chimney. Upper level previously included laundry and full bath with generously sized bedrooms. This is the perfect time of year for this interior renovation project. Updated electrical, newer furnace. In a lovely enclave with a strong sense of community - a shared garden space and regular neighbor potlucks.
