810 N Third, Ishpeming, MI 49849

Treasure tradition by living in and lovingly restoring this American Foursquare that was built in 1915! The home says "Come in!" as soon as you step into the entry and see the large living area where natural light streams in and the woodwork stands out. This space was once the hub of the home where the kids and parents gathered to spend time together. This Foursquare incorporates elements from both Prairie and Craftsman style, boasting many of the original finishes and woodwork including hardwood floors, columns, craftsman paneling, book shelves, built in cabinets, spindles, posts, staircase, entry bench, and amazing leaded glass windows throughout the main floor. Many prefer the Foursquare over a Victorian style today because the more modest, and honest woodwork style with a handcrafted feel feels more current. But the expense of building these finishing touches now would be astronomical! The seller's family rented this home from CCI in 1965 and eventually purchased it in around 1980 and it has been in the family ever since. They hope the next family loves this home as much as they have. Removal of wall paper and fresh paint throughout would be an absolutely amazing transformation! The large covered front porch runs the entire front of the home and would love to have the windows opened and trees trimmed to allow some sunshine in. On the main floor you'll find the entry, big living room, newly restored dining room, and very large kitchen. Just up the stair case there are three sizable bedrooms, including a master with it's own brand new bath! The second full bath in the hall rounds out this floor. Up another flight there is a bedroom that would make an amazing office, hobby room, or play room. There is also storage in the eaves on this level. The basement is a full basement with the original root cellar and coal room areas as well as built in closet and shelves. The boiler, water heater, and electrical box have all been updated. You'll appreciate the garage at the back of the lot during the winter, no more scraping ice off the car. And there's just enough of a backyard to make it a cute little outdoor space. This home has room, room and more room and so much charm too. And at 63 dollars a square foot, you can't beat the price! Schedule your private showing of this little slice of history today.
