You can't believe the charm in this early 1900's built historic home, just a short walk to scenic downtown Bay City, the river walk, and all of the events that downtown Bay City has to offer! Premium original custom wood work fills this 3 bedroom, 1.5 bathroom house, but nice updates like newer vinyl windows make it a smart option! You'll walk-in the front entry with the original portico, and the generous living room is to the left. Every early 1900's house isn't complete without a proper dining room, but you will be in awe of the coffered ceilings throughout the main floor! The dining room does still feature original lead accent windows (valuable and charming!). The kitchen features newer stainless steel appliances that have been purchased within the past couple of years. The main floor half bath is large enough to convert into a full bath if desired. Next to the half bath is a former butlers pantry, which could make a nice kitchen overflow for small appliances, or a small designated office space. Upstairs you'll find 3 generous bedrooms, with ample closet space. The full bath upstairs is a nice size, with some built in storage options. In the hallway there's an extra 6 x 4 walk-in closet for your seasonal clothing, or some extra storage. In the dry Michigan basement, you'll find laundry, mechanicals, and more room for storage. Even the basement windows have been replaced with vinyl windows! As well as being a short walk to so many eateries and night life, there's a small fenced yard for pet lovers. You can fit 4 vehicles in the back alleyway, and still easily get around. Please note the only parking is in the back alleyway, so you will park back here for showings.
