Description

AMAZING ON ADAMS..this amazing 2100 sq feet historic home has 3 bedrooms, 2.5 baths that are sure to please. It is one of the first properties in Coleman, with paperwork dating to the original land purchased in 1859! The 1911 prairie box-style home had major renovations in 2014. Those renovations include taking out all the plaster walls and replacing them with drywall, completely updating all the bathrooms and bedrooms, and new flooring, also moving the laundry to the main floor. The new windows, spray foam insulation, PEX plumbing, and updated wiring bring this beautiful home into the 21st century. The den and 2nd floor still have the original hardwood floors. The original front door was refurbished and brought back to its original condition in 2023. The den, formerly a summer kitchen, is finished in its original rough-cut cedar with cedar rafters, window treatments, and faux tin roof inserts. It also has very unique features, like false fascia inside the bookcase to hide items, and even a door built under the stairs to access the center of the house. The original barn, now converted to a garage, served as one of the city’s first postmasters horse stalls, and during WWII served as a recycling center for materials rationed during the war. Even the giant silver maple in the backyard has character, with a brick mason at one point building a pylon within a portion of the trunk to help support the massive limbs of the tree. This is all enjoyed from a 300 sq ft deck completed in 2017, perfect for grilling and entertaining outdoors. In addition to the silver maple anchoring the backyard, the front yard features a small orchard with 4 apple and 2 pear trees, and the property is built on 4 city lots. Storage abounds with 750 sq ft above the garage and over 1, 100 sq ft in the unfinished basement! There’s also easy access to the attic above the summer kitchen with a custom access door and lighting for even more storage. Located halfway between Midland and Mt Pleasant and just a few blocks off the highway, this home is the perfect location for commuters and weekend trips up north.
