Property Description
Step into a piece of Newaygo history with this sprawling two-story character home, perfectly situated on a prime corner lot with all the perks of 'in-town' living. Built in 1900, this residence offers an impressive 2,300+ square feet of potential, blending turn-of-the-century bones with a layout designed for modern life.

With three generous bedrooms and three full bathrooms, there is plenty of room for everyone to find their own corner. The exterior features a charming enclosed porch, perfect for morning coffee, while the two-stall attached garage is a craftsman's dream, featuring additional rear storage and a dedicated workshop area. Below, a partial Michigan basement.
