Step back in time to 1901 in one of Onaway's original homestead homes, built during the city's booming steering wheel factory era. Rich with history and character, this 5-bedroom, 2-bath home showcases thick original wood trim, vintage wallpapers, formal dining and an oversized laundry room. Outside, historic stone walls form charming courtyards and border established perennial gardens, with winding walkways leading through the landscape. Remnants of grand neighboring homes remain in old stone steps and foundation ruins. A carriage house, coop and detached 2-car garage complete this truly unique property--a rare opportunity to own a piece of Onaway history.
