Timeless Victorian charm meets modern convenience in this beautifully updated 3-bedroom, 2-bath home located just one block from downtown Alma and within easy reach of Alma College, the Heartland Trail, shopping, dining, and community events. Thoughtfully remodeled while preserving its historic character, this home showcases a stunning open wood staircase, inviting living spaces, and classic architectural details throughout. The updated kitchen (2023) blends style and function, while major improvements provide peace of mind, including a new furnace (2023), central air (2024), water main (2023), and updated flooring completed between 2023 and 2026. A full bath on each level, along with convenient main-floor laundry, adds everyday functionality. All three bedrooms are located on the second floor, offering separation between living and private spaces. Enjoy relaxing on the covered front porch, and appreciate the practicality of a one-car detached garage. The unheated mudroom provides valuable additional space and is not included in the home's square footage. A rare opportunity to own a home that beautifully balances historic elegance, modern updates, and a location that puts the best of Alma just steps from your door. All measurements are approximate and should be verified by buyer.
