Step back in time with this one-of-a-kind historic stone Colonial in Brownhelm Township. Built in 1847, as marked by its original datestone, this remarkable home predates the Civil War and offers timeless character paired with modern livability.
With approximately 2,900 square feet of living space, there's plenty of room for both everyday living and showcasing your treasured antiques. Situated on 2.82 acres in the Firelands Local School District, this unique property combines historic charm with exceptional functionality.
The second floor features three spacious bedrooms and a full bath. On the main level, you'll find a welcoming eat-in country kitchen, a generous parlor/dining room, a large living room, and a convenient half bath with utility area.
A standout feature of this property is its multiple outbuildings, which are currently rented as storage units. They are fully occupied during the winter months by customers storing boats, campers, and other seasonal recreational vehicles, providing a dependable and attractive source of supplemental income. The home is also rented for additional income. Be sure to look at Virtual tour 1 and 2 for drone footage of barn interiors and property sky views.
