Step back in time without sacrificing modern comfort in this captivating 1854 home, ideally situated on a quiet street just five hundred feet from the River Raisin and an easy 5-minute walk or roll to downtown Manchester's charming shops, restaurants, and parks. Bursting with old character and bathed in natural light, this 3-bedroom, 2-full-bath home blends timeless charm with practical everyday functionality. The main floor welcomes you with rich hardwood flooring that flows seamlessly throughout the main living spaces. At the heart of the home is large, open kitchen and dining area boasting an expanse of cabinetry, generous counter space, a sit-at island, and massive windows that flood the room with warmth. Just off this space, the expansive living room features a classic bay window that serves as a perfect, sun-filled sanctuary for your favorite house plants. A flexible main-floor bedroom sits conveniently right off the living room, steps away from a full main-level bath. Completing the main floor is a remarkably large laundry room equipped with a set of antique built-in cabinets and extra storage space. Upstairs, you will find additional peaceful bedrooms and a second full bathroom, complete with a classic claw-foot tub positioned to overlook the green space and woods of the backyard. Outdoor living is just as inviting, starting with the spacious, screened front porch that offers a front-row seat to the quiet neighborhood. Out back, the extra-deep 2-car garage goes beyond standard storage by offering a bright, light-filled workshop or studio space—ideal for crafts, woodworking, or specialized hobbies. The next chapter of this house is ready to be written, and YOU can be part of it!
