Built when Ulysses S. Grant was President, horse-drawn carriages ruled the roads and Michigan's lumber era was booming, this 1870 Bridgeport home proves true character never goes out of style. This classic home blends timeless craftsmanship with modern living and flawless finishes found throughout. Be amazed at the amount of natural light that drenches the rooms and hardwood floors, rooms highlighted by top-notch decorating and paint color schemes. There are incredible spaces, including the feature wall in the living room with the hand-crafted fireplace surround that is the center of attention. The family room is like stepping back in time with exposed barnwood beams, a tongue-and-groove knotty pine ceiling and a wood-burning fireplace with a stone surround, giving a cabin-like feel of the 18th century. The kitchen is built for the best of chefs, with granite and metal countertops, maple cabinetry and a built-in gas stovetop in the island. The double ovens will be beneficial for the certain feasts you'll host! Take in the panoramic views of the countryside, perched over the Cass River, in the four seasons room just off the kitchen. Deer and turkey will likely wish to join you in the early morning or early evening. The primary bedroom is fit for a homesteader, with a balcony overlooking the river and a private ensuite bath. For an older house, you'll also be amazed at the size of the rooms, they're not your typical small rooms often found in old farmhouses. For added ease, the laundry is also located on the second floor. The patio will make for great summer nights and also a great pad to break out the Blackstone or smoker for some memorable meals! The detached two car garage has an opener and a loft area for storage. There's also a "she-shed" for creative minds, insulated, heated with electricity. The barns are all functional, and there's even a woodshop for woodworkers and a chicken coup for farm-fresh eggs. History and tradition meet great living with this home!
