619 N 5th St Ishpeming, MI 49849

Turn-key historic home on a quiet residential street in Ishpeming! This move-in ready home has been painstakingly restored into a classic mix of vintage charm and modern amenities featuring not only charm, but also quality workmanship and elements unavailable in modern construction. A true showpiece for its woodwork; cherry, oak, pine and birch highlight the home and beautifully accompany the wood floors on the main level, not to mention the upper level oak floors with beautiful inlay. Throughout the home you will encounter over 2 dozen stained and leaded beveled windows. The large foyer provides an ideal entry into the home and leads to a huge living space with 2 sets of pocket doors giving privacy to the room; an elaborate corner gas fireplace is a main focal point in the room. The dining room features a charming corner china cabinet and a convenient butler’s pantry with great useable storage space. The kitchen has been updated by Schwalbach’s with timeless white cabinets detailed with copper pulls and marble insets into the counter, ideal for baking! There is also an additional pantry and half bath just off the kitchen. Access from the back of the home is into an enclosed porch, making an ideal mudroom, and opens directly into the kitchen. The second story is complete with 5 bedrooms; many could have additional uses such as office space or an upper level family room. There are 2 bathrooms on this floor with great original features and a wraparound “sleeping porch” overlooking the impressive yard. The third level has ample storage space and another bedroom, originally the maid’s quarters. The lower level has finished space that’s a game/family room. There are 2 detached 2 car garages, 1 original to the home and 1 newer built with great character and upper level storage space. The wrap around front porch is a room in itself that follows the curves of the turret and has a sandstone foundation. The large lot provides great yard space, beautiful gardens and paver walkways from the drive. This home has been featured in historical books, noted in online blogs about the area and was featured in the Marquette Beautification and Restoration Committee’s garden tour. This home is truly a stand-alone in quality, beauty and history. The budget for heat is less than $200 per month! There is an apprasial for $350,000 and comparable homes in Marquette would sell for double the cost!
