House Description

Own an irreplaceable piece of history. This grand Victorian estate was once the private home of famous early-1900s actress, Katie Putnam. It commands a breathtaking, private wooded ravine corner lot featuring a scenic natural stream--a magical, park-like setting you simply cannot replicate. Inside, the home boasts spectacular architectural character just waiting to be brought back to its full glory. It features a dramatic exterior turret rising from the foundation to the roofline, an impressive grand open staircase, stained-glass windows, high ceilings, and multiple historic fireplaces. This is the ultimate dream project for anyone looking to execute a high-end, top-to-bottom restoration and create a true showstopper. Could be used as a STR. Conveniently located close to town; shopping, beaches, world class golf, fishing & boating in the St Joe & Paw Paw River. Bring your vision and restore a landmark. Second floor of home has been professionally demoed and ready for your custom fixtures (Shiplap; drywall; claw bath tub, etc) providing significant savings in removal and hauling costs.
