About This Home

Discover the perfect blend of historic charm and modern convenience in this beautifully maintained two-story home, nestled in the heart of Tuscola on three spacious lots totaling one acre. With over 2,350 square feet of finished living space, this home offers exceptional lifestyle opportunities both inside and out. Step onto the classic front porch, then enter a welcoming foyer highlighted by a grand wood staircase. The main level features a sun-drenched sunroom with brand-new wood paneling, a grand living room space, a well-appointed kitchen with stainless steel appliances, a first-floor bedroom, and two full baths. Upstairs, you'll find three additional bedrooms and another full bath, offering plenty of space for family, guests, or home office needs. A full unfinished basement adds even more potential. Outdoors is your own private retreat: a vinyl-fenced yard with an in-ground swimming pool and composite deck. The organic garden has no herbicides or pesticides used. Enjoy the flavors of concord grapes, asparagus, rhubarb, black and red raspberry patches and 4 honey berry bushes. Fruit tree orchard includes 1 Bartlet pear, 2 apple trees, 3 peach trees, 1 cherry tree, 2 persimmon trees. The heated and cooled studio/garage can easily be converted back into a two-car garage. A newer garden shed with high ceilings provides extra storage or workshop space. This home is truly a rare gem-offering character, space, and versatility in a prime location. Don't miss the chance to make it yours!
