This classic Upper Peninsula Craftsman is a showcase of timeless character and warmth. Unlike so many pre-war homes that have been stripped of their period features, this residence retains many Arts and Crafts era original elements, including plaster walls, picture rail moulding, archway openings, and hardwood floors. Situated in the coveted X500 flood zone (flood insurance optional), it blends historic appeal with peace of mind.From the generous and welcoming full front porch, enter into a bright and open living room, and you'll immediately notice the 9+ foot ceiling heights and beautiful hardwood floors. A brick fireplace, while non-functional, features a rich hardwood mantel and serves as a focal point of the large room. The fireplace is flanked by original built-incabinets with glass doors. A set of glass-paned French doors leads to a spacious dining room, perfect for dinner parties or family gatherings, or easily adapted as a den or flex space if you prefer. Beyond the dining room, a large arched opening leads to the kitchen featuring beautiful cherry wood cabinetry, gas range, black and white tile flooring, and a double-farmhouse sink. Just off the kitchen is a convenient main-floor powder room. The cozy back entry mudroom overlooks the backyard and includes a high bar ideal for morning coffee or an after-work glass of wineplus a built-in storage bench and period beadboard accents. From the back door, step on to a newly rebuilt back deck (2025) and into the private and fully-fenced backyard with mature greenery, including a large lemon tree. Back in the front living room, the original stair landing with period newel posts lead to the second story, which, like the first story, features 9+ foot ceilings, hardwood floors, plaster walls, and abundant natural light. From a central hall, there are three bedrooms, each with a small closet, and one with a door to a private balcony. The bright and roomy full bathroom has a large storage vanity, a walk-in tiled shower, and cast-iron claw foot tub. The second floor also features a large laundry closet with stacked Washer/Dryer as well as pulldown attic stairs for additional storage. The exterior of the home is beautifully maintained with a full exterior repaint in 2025 as well as repointing of the chimney in 2025. Gutters and down spouts exist to further protect the home's exterior. Other recent updates include replacement of the upstairs HVAC unit in 2025, interior repainting in 2025, and new light fixtures on the front porch and in the upstairs bathroom. The lot features an off-street parking space for one car. From this convenient location, walk, bike, or golf cart to near-by restaurants, coffee shops, and retail as well as to Hampton Park, the jewel of Charleston's upper peninsula, all within a mile of this centrally located home.
