In the rolling hills of the village of Manchester, and just a few minutes’ walk from food, parks, and the river Raisin- this Historic property is a showstopper! Built in 1868 by J.D. Corey, this 3 bedroom, 2.5 bath is a stunning example of preservation, updates, and Italianate architecture. The extra-large living room with almost floor to ceiling windows, beveled glass accents, and fireplace creates the perfect space for gatherings. The updated kitchen has newer appliances, a massive granite island, and quick access to the huge deck and backyard with a smaller fenced-in area. With high ceilings on the lower level, each room carries a feeling of understated opulence, including the formal entrance parlor. Little details like the wood flooring with a butt-joint pattern, original trim, exposed brick, and the extra office area leave one feeling captivated. Not only does the home have MANY updates such as Wiring, Plumbing, Baths, and Kitchen, but it also has been updated after a full energy audit with a new HVAC, heat pump, and spray foam insulation in the attics. It also has Storm and Indow windows systems for maximum heat retention. The 2.36-acre grounds also feature full beds of perennial flowers, a pergola, a fenced veggy/herb garden, a water feature, large AND small outbuildings, an inground sprinkler system, a brick paver driveway, and a 480sq foot studio with its own HVAC and entrance near the 2-car garage. With preservation work recently done to many parts of the home, it’s ready for YOU part of its next story.
