This historic home is situated on a corner in a neighborhood only a block away from the downtown area and a short stroll to Lake Superior.  It is comprised of two lots that total just over 1/3 acre. Plenty of parking exists, and the zoning permits any business usage.  A great opportunity for someone looking for a small Lifestyle B&B; an initial, inexpensive property in which to initiate themselves to the B&B business; a large family residence or a vacation property!  Also could be a great investment for someone uncertain as to their own commitment to the Innkeeper life, but who is seeking a historic home / quality retirement venue at a reasonable price.

Inside the home are spacious first level areas such as the kitchen and the dining room with its built-in buffet.  There’s also a porch to the front and a deck off of the back family room. First floor hardwood floors and little touches like knotty pine walls add to a cozy feeling.

 

This home has 2675 square feet on two levels, with 1765 square feet on the main level, and 910 square feet on the second level.  Of the four bedrooms in the home, one is on the main floor, with a private bathroom, providing accessibility for anyone with limited mobility.  The three other bedrooms are on the second level, and currently share the same bathroom.  However, space and layout would allow this set-up to be modified to provide several rooms with their own individual bathrooms.

 



Overall the property is in good condition, with cedar shake shingles on the exterior that were painted two years ago, 9 year old vinyl window replacements and a roof that is 18 years old.  The furnace is a 3 year old natural gas / forced air unit, the home has central air conditioning, and the electrical has been updated to a 200 amp system.  An attached two-car garage provides both additional storage and other living options, should owners wish more rooms.  A basement area adds another 1560 square feet of storage area.
Plenty of Owners Quarters space exists for a family if used as a residence.  Should this be employed as a B&B, several options exist to provide at least three B&B bedrooms in addition to OQ
This home is located in a year-around tourist and recreational part of Michigan, with summertime activity in the Porcupine Mountains and nearby Keweenaw Peninsula, and winter snowmobile action.  With its setting near the downtown area and close proximity to Lake Superior, this historic home provides many options from a B&B, small business setting or family home to a great retirement or vacation venue.
