708 Hecla St Hancock, MI 49930

Pride of ownership shows in every square inch of this beautiful American Arts and Crafts home. Original home was built in 1971. In 2000, the sellers hired Dave Bach Designs to design a 1728 square foot, 2-story addition, plus garage and heated workshop. Skip Kindred was the architectural designer and Dave Bach provided energy efficiency and the Arts& Crafts design. The huge corner lot is almost ½ acre and is attractively landscaped adding to the amazing curb appeal of the home. From the front door, you’ll enter into a foyer with ceramic tile floor. To your left is the library with plenty of built-in shelves and a comfortable window seat to curl up on and read your favorite book. Straight ahead and to the left is the laundry room, a ½ bath, and access to the garage and a 200 square foot heated workshop. Continuing down the front hallway, you’ll find an office that overlooks the incredible gardens in the back yard. Across the hall from the office is a bright sun room with plenty of windows to take advantage of the garden views. To the right of the foyer, you’ll find an open concept floor plan incorporating the living room, dining room, and kitchen – a wonderful space for enjoying family time or entertaining. The living room has a charming gas fireplace with a brick hearth, a built-in TV cabinet, and bay window looking out the beautiful landscaped front yard. Kitchen features an island with built-in oven/range, plenty of cabinetry, and counter top space. Rounding out the main floor is a spacious master bedroom suite with a walk-in closet and fully bath with a jetted tub. There is another bedroom and full bath on the main floor as well. Upstairs you’ll find a cozy family room with a wet bar. You’ll enjoy the gorgeous garden views from the family room. The second floor also has 2 more bedrooms and another full bath. The partially finished basement has a room that could be used as a bedroom or what have you and a ¾ bath (making this a 4 ½ bath home!). This nicely appointed home is only part of the package. You will be impressed by the many exquisite gardens throughout the yard. There are apple, peach, plum, and cherry trees, raspberry and currant bushes, raised beds, a small privacy fence on the north side of the house, quaint paths here and there, and charming Pewabic tile accents on the retaining walls. A home this special doesn’t become available often.
