139 E Oak St Ovid, MI 48866

Welcome to 139 E. Oak St!  One of the more charming older homes in Ovid built in 1892!  Many turn of the century elements remain, custom trim work, oak columns that flank the living room, high ceilings and a large corner lot.  The remnants of carriage step in the front yard are a reminder of the prosperous Ovid Carriage Works of the late 1800s.  Carriage Days are celebrated in September when the village, now City, of Ovid puts on quite the party.  Here you can enjoy the best this friendly town has to offer, with a population of 1600 in 2010.  Walk to Village Food Pride or the Nic's Bowl, hop on the Fred Meijer Bike Trail which connects Ovid with St. Johns and Owosso!   This home has been extensively remodeled including updated windows, wiring, plumbing and heating! House was reroofed in 2004. The large living room has a corner wood stove which the seller used in the past to heat the entire home! The hardwood floors of the original parlor have been refinished. The kitchen, with outside entrance to the side yard was remodeled with plenty of counter space and updated appliances and is open to the dining area. The remodeled bathroom is just off the large first floor laundry with newer windows. Upstairs there are two bedrooms. The master has an ensuite half bath, as well as a connecting nursery or sitting room. Previous owners used this room as a massive walk in closet. The owners pride and joy is the large, custom two story studio (18x30) which was designed and built just 8 years ago to house an art studio. Connected to the house by the mudroom, it has a large garage door, first floor workshop and a full second story with skylights, an artist/hobbyist dream! Perfect for an in-home business or car enthusiast. This home is a classic blending of old and new, a small town turn-of-the-century home with 21st century updates.
