Nearly 100-Year Old Stone Lake House Hits Market For $299,900

CHELSEA, MI -- This home has plenty of old-school Wow: it's a stone craftsman cottage built in 1925. It features a truly unique and beautiful fireplace constructed of individual stones. There are wood floors in the living room, which also features a cathedral ceiling at one end. There are two bedrooms in the nearly 2000-square foot house, and a new kitchen with granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, custom cabinets, and a breakfast bar. The house has newer windows, a vessel sink in bathroom, a partially finished basement, a new forced air furnace lakefront access to Crooked Lake.

The lake is a huge draw here. From the home's perch atop a hill on almost an acre of land, you get panoramic views of Crooked Lake, along with a full extra lot directly on the water. The home was clearly a beloved project, hence the new kitchen, but needs flooring in the kitchen, and some updating in the bedrooms and bath. Given the large space available, the nice kitchen, the 1925 stonework and the location (worth all three L's in this case), the wow may be partly in your imagination, but this house is a great canvass for a creative homeowner who wants Up North lakefront living just minutes from downtown Chelsea.
