Description:

Originally a farmhouse, this massive home has been added onto over the years to rear a large family, all while being secluded from the main road with the kids able to enjoy the nearby trees, grass and wildlife. Word is, the true date this home was built is around the 1850's as evidenced by the hand hewn beams, abundant rooms and original hardwood flooring. Whether your plans are to get rid of the old and build anew or spruce up the existing abode, your new residence resides in what has been voted #25 of the best cities to live in the whole US (per livability.com). Parks, beaches, cider mills, bike & walking trails, restaurants, bars and to top it off, award-winning schools are all within minutes. This near-acre parcel has the privacy you'd like in the sticks, but the amenities of a contemporary American metropolis. The woods in the rear will stay that way since the city will not allow any development. Some other features include dimensional roof, on-demand hot water, vinyl windows, automatic garage doors, lean-to for your landscaping needs, enormous basement great for storage and huge (37x18) attic area waiting to be finished. Roll up your sleeves, with some elbow grease this hidden treasure can be transformed into a Rochester Hills gem!
