About This Home

As of June 2025

Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness in your new home...on Jefferson! This declaration, which we borrow a portion of the famous words of Thomas Jefferson, declares that the purchaser of this home will be free to make their own the 1910-built farmhouse in a historic Frankenmuth city neighborhood. The home sits at the corner of Jefferson and Flint Street, just a short walk to downtown shops and restaurants and across the street from world-class golf at The Fortress. The pride of ownership is evident from the moment you pull in. The well-maintained grounds include plush grass, tasteful landscaping and kennels for dogs and an outbuilding and lean-to for storing lawn equipment or other items. Walk inside to the three bedroom home and find a large kitchen, living room, dining room and first floor primary bedroom. There's also an incredible 8x23 four seasons room near the back of the home that overlooks the patio and back yard. The basement isn't made for the tallest of us (about 5' ceiling height), but has been freshly painted, is dry, offers great storage, and even a spot for a woodshop. Boiler heat keeps the first floor warm, electric heat keeps the upstairs cozy and in the summer, the sellers are leaving three air conditioning window-units for summer comfort. This home has incredible character and like Thomas Jefferson wrote in the Declaration of Independence, you have the right to pursue happiness -- and it may just be in this house on his namesake!
