440 E Chapin St Cadillac, MI 49601

Terrific location on Cadillac's desirable east side. A historic home with estimated construction date of 1925, the home seems much newer with the updates and loving maintenance it has received from the current owner who has resided here since 1969. Loaded with the charm and elegance of era past: pocket doors for privacy, beveled glass accents in entry, beautifully crafted wood staircase and banister, original maple hardwood floors in 3 of the bedrooms. It is hard to beat the square footage attainable per dollar with a historic home like this one. The master bedroom sleeping porch (sun room) has been converted into a workout area with dimensions 14X6 plus 2 closets. The current owner uses upper bedroom number 4 as a home office. Large landing area is suitable for use as study area, studio or gallery. The kitchen update in the mid-1970's opened the south wall to the backyard patio. This improvement also created a breakfast room/family dining area. The home is flooded with natural light and has a wonderful floor plan. The formal dining room is combined with the living room which is spacious feeling while outfitted with a baby grand piano, full dining set and living room setting. The foyer has a solid panel pocket door dividing off the family room and a glass panel French style pocket door on the living room side. Family room includes a brick fireplace that is gas fueled and its original hardwood floor. There is a half bath and laundry on the main level. The partially finished basement includes a recreation room with entertainment bar and the owner has an office work space in this area. The mechanical area of the basement has a work bench area. Driveway off Chapin Street provides parking for 2 vehicles and there is alley access to the back area where 3 more vehicles can be parked. There are 2 covered porches; one is screened. The south facing deck has a sun trellis and the shade trees add to the desirability of the setting.
