1939 CHARMER ON THE CANAL. A storybook-type place where time slows and the outdoors beckon you to play! Perfectly perched above the canal on the island of Grosse Ile, this 1939 home is more than a residence - it’s a retreat where history, charm, and the water’s edge come together.
Tucked along a quaint dirt road, the home feels like it's in a world of its own. The private boathouse and decking connect you directly to the water - just imagine your coffee canal-side before your morning kayak, or spending summer weekends boating with family and friends. Evenings bring peaceful sunsets reflecting across the water. This brick beauty is ready for the next chapter in its story. Schedule your private showing TODAY!
