Einfamilienhaus In Marquette

Some homes are built. Others become part of a family’s story. Step inside this remarkable East Side residence, a gracious 1895 homestead filled with the kind of character, craftsmanship and architectural detail that simply cannot be recreated today. Come on in and see for yourself the tall leaded glass windows, original woodwork, soaring new vinyl windows and beautiful hardwood floors make it clear that this was a home built with intention and built to last. There is an undeniable sense of grandeur here, but it is not the polished, predictable kind. It is the grandeur of a substantial old home with room to breathe, stories to tell and details waiting to be appreciated again. 4 fireplaces are scattered throughout the home, adding warmth and distinction, while abundant natural light pours through the many oversized windows. And then there is the space! 6 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms offer an extraordinary amount of room for a household of almost any size. The main level den has most recently served as a main floor primary suite and is an exceptional space in its own right, featuring a generously sized handicap accessible bathroom, a solid-wood pocket door, wood-burning fireplace and private rear entry. The architectural detail and craftsmanship in this room are truly something to behold. The kitchen has been recently updated with a convenient center island, loads of new cabinets, a charming corner sink area and walk in pantry. Follow the sweeping staircase upstairs, where you’ll find additional spacious bedrooms and two more full bathrooms. There is room here for family, guests and entertainment and perhaps even a few overnight visitors who have a habit of staying awhile! Above it all, the attic offers an entirely different world of possibilities, with two seasonal bedrooms and an abundance of storage. The full basement is remarkably dry and provides even more storage, beautiful brick placement along with the newer boiler and hot water system. While the next owner may choose to update some of the interiors to suit their own taste and lifestyle, many of the big ticket improvements have already been thoughtfully addressed. The original owners cared deeply for this home, and that stewardship shows. Newer windows have been added throughout most of the house, along with a newer roof; significant advantages in a home of this size and age. Outside, the wraparound front porch invites you to slow down and enjoy the neighborhood, while the backyard has its own quiet charm. Mature perennial gardens, a fenced vegetable garden, abundant red raspberries and grapevines create a setting that feels wonderfully established and distinctly homegrown. And the location? It’s hard to improve upon. Tucked into a quiet, friendly East Side neighborhood, you’re within an easy walk of the lake and nearby park, while still enjoying the convenience of being close to everything that makes Marquette special. This is more than a house with old house charm, it’s your new home!
