Inside the home
This 1890 Italianate brick home sits on a half-acre lot directly across from the Grand River — one of the larger in-town lots you'll find at this price point. The triple-brick construction, 10-foot ceilings, turned-spindle staircase, and arched windows are all intact after 130-plus years. The condition is genuinely mixed. The ensuite renovation (2017) is a high point — clawfoot tub, glass shower, double vessel sink vanity. The garage loft (2016) adds significant usable space and has real in-law or rental suite potential. The kitchen was updated with a farmhouse sink, subway tile, and stainless appliances, though the pine floors show their age. The upper hall bathroom is 1990s original and due for a full replacement. The breezeway connecting house to garage is mid-renovation and unfinished. Buyers should budget for completing the breezeway, updating the second bathroom, and addressing cosmetic work in several bedrooms. The bones and the lot are the story here.
