In the charming town of Manchester, just 25 minutes from Ann Arbor, this 1913 Victorian-era vernacular home is full of lovingly cared-for original character like trim, doors, and flooring. Every day life is carefree with newer plumbing, wiring, roof, and windows. From the wrap-around front porch, you enter through the front door into the Living room. You're struck with the large picture windows, original bi-fold parlor door, and the way the spaces flow from front to back of the house. A formal dining room leads to not only an office/laundry(also 4th bedroom!), half bath and stairs, but also leads to a large eat-in kitchen at the back of the house.

Upstairs, all 3 bedrooms are really sizeable and give you plenty of space for your treasured items. Don't forget to notice that near the full bath at the top of the stairs is a whole-house attic fan. It will keep your house cooler and energy bills lower!
Down the back stairs(yes, there are 2 sets of stairs!) and beyond the kitchen, you'll find a huge back deck that has lots of tree shade for entertaining on those summer nights! Just beyond the deck is a large side yard with mature plants and the original carriage garage. With 3 levels, it has LOTS of space to use as storage, a creative space like a shop or studio, or just to tuck your kayaks when not in use. Did I mention you're just a stone's throw from parks, lakes, and the Raisin River? Whether you walk, roll, or drive, you have events, dining, shopping, and so much more waiting for you in the growing town of Manchester!
