    What's special

    Some homes get updated. This one got a second life. Originally built in 1885 as the historic Bunjes one room schoolhouse, this Frankenmuth standout has been completely reimagined into a home that blends nearly 140 years of history with the comfort, style and functionality buyers want today. Even better, downtown Frankenmuth is just a short stroll away, putting shops, restaurants, festivals and everything Little Bavaria has to offer practically at your doorstep. The curb appeal makes the first statement with meticulous landscaping, a charming covered porch and a setting that immediately feels special. Step inside and the character continues, paired with updated flooring, fresh décor, modern fixtures and a layout designed for real everyday living. The spacious main floor living room centers around a gas fireplace, while the first floor primary suite brings plenty of comfort with dual sinks, a soaking tub and generous walk in closet. Then there is the kitchen. Quartz countertops, a butcher block island, farmhouse sink, stainless steel appliances and hexagon tile backsplash come together in a space that feels every bit as memorable as the home itself. First floor laundry and abundant storage make the practical side just as impressive. Upstairs are three additional bedrooms, each with its own walk in closet, plus a full bathroom and flex nook that works perfectly as a home office, homework station or reading space. The finished basement adds even more room to spread out with another office area, a large gathering room and half bath. And when Michigan summer arrives, the backyard is ready. Grill on the composite deck, cool off in the above ground pool and settle in for evenings outside with friends and family. There are plenty of beautiful homes in Frankenmuth. There is only one that started its story as the Bunjes schoolhouse in 1885. History gave this home its character. The transformation gave it its next chapter. Now it is ready for yours.
