Step into a piece of Newaygo history with this sprawling two-story character home, perfectly situated on a prime corner lot with all the perks of 'in-town' living. Built in 1900, this residence offers an impressive 2,300+ square feet of potential, blending turn-of-the-century bones with a layout designed for modern life. The main floor welcomes you with a functional mudroom and convenient main-floor laundry, leading into a spacious kitchen, formal dining room, and a bright living area. Book lovers will fall in love with the versatile library space--an ideal spot for floor-to-ceiling shelves or a cozy, sun-drenched reading nook.
With three generous bedrooms and three full bathrooms, there is plenty of room for everyone to find their own corner. The exterior features a charming enclosed porch, perfect for morning coffee, while the two-stall attached garage is a craftsman's dream, featuring additional rear storage and a dedicated workshop area. Below, a partial Michigan basement. While this home needs some TLC and a creative vision to restore its original luster, its substantial size and historic charm make it a rare find. Whether you're looking for a rewarding restoration project or a spacious family home close to local shops and parks, this Newaygo gem is ready for its next chapter.
