Just a block from Pere Marquette Lake, including views of the lake from the second floor, this home must have lots of history in our lakeshore community of Ludington. Records say it was built in 1890 and the solid, beautiful, original woodwork tells that story. A lovely staircase and French doors from the foyer are an inviting entrance. Hardwood floors throughout most of the living areas, and unusually large closets too. There is a main floor bedroom and 3 bedrooms on the second floor with another small room that can be converted into whatever you can think of. Huge kitchen with lots of potential. Older two car garage off the alley and a yard that was once a beautiful English garden-type source of pride. Without the ability to keep that up in the later years, someone with a green thumb has a lot to work with to get it back to beautiful. A new forced air furnace was installed in 2026. Also, a newer hot water heater. With some TLC, this home is a diamond in the rough.
