    *BUYER TO ASSUME C OF O* A rare opportunity to restore and reimagine a truly distinctive piece of local history. Built in 1890, this memorable farmhouse-style residence was once the Backman House Grocery Store and family home. Lovingly owned and cared for by the same owners since 1966, this 2,764-square-foot home is filled with history, character and the warmth of a well-loved residence. A large covered front porch welcomes you into a home featuring leaded-glass doors, period sconces, built-in cabinetry, a walk-in pantry and architectural details that are increasingly difficult to find. The first floor includes a living room, library/den, formal dining room, kitchen, powder room, Florida room and an additional den leading to the backyard deck. The second floor offers four bedrooms, a home office and a full bath. A walk-up third-floor attic provides valuable storage and potential future-use space. The unfinished basement has a smaller footprint and includes a laundry area. Originally configured with eight bedrooms, the home is currently arranged as four bedrooms with 1.1 baths. While dated and ready for its next chapter, this well-loved home offers a compelling canvas for restoration. Its convenient location a short distance from Lake St. Clair was especially appreciated by the longtime owner. Updated homes with similar vintage charm continue to attract strong interest—bring your vision and make this one-of-a-kind property your own.
