About This Home
As of May 2018Don’t miss this chance to own one of Big Rapids finest historical homes. Located at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac with amazing river frontage, this classic home has been carefully maintained to preserve the architectural details from the past, yet the floor plan and professional decorating work perfect for today’s modern family.
Featuring original hardwood floors throughout most of the home; plaster crown moldings; two Italian marble fireplaces – the one in the living room is hand-carved – the second is in the art-deco style and located in the master bedroom; a four season sun room; four large bedrooms; 2 and 1/2 baths; maid’s quarters that have been converted to an office and a craft room; and a large, updated eat-in kitchen. This home was moved from its original location across from the Mecosta County Courthouse in 2002 at which time it was placed on a new basement with 9' sidewalls. The furnace, hot water heater, roof and siding were all replaced at this time. The garage roof doubles as a large patio area (off the master bedroom) and is reinforced to allow a variety of uses including an addition or hot tub.
The current owners are only the 3rd family to own this amazing home a€“ you could be next! Call today to schedule your appointment!
