Manchester Village, MI 48158

With a rare elevated million-dollar view of the verdant sprawling River Raisin, the location of this house on almost 4.5 acres was chosen with intentionality long ago. 70 feet above the lily pads, flowing waters and abundant wildlife, the expansive view takes your breath away. On the left side of the property is the old Railroad line. Now just a tree covered path, it takes you down a private 240 ft peninsula into the waters of the River Raisin. Perfect for fishing, kayaking, or just quietly admiring the humble beauty of the area. On the right side of the property, several types of fruit trees are a call back to the days of early settlements when so many would have private orchards. Beyond the long sweeping drive and extensive lawns, the house sits flanked by several outbuildings. A large wood shead to the left provides extra storage, and to the right of the house is a 2+ bay building/workshop and a 2-car garage. With almost 2400 sq ft, this mid-19th century home started as a small 2 story Greek revival. With a few early additions, this property now has 4 bedrooms (2 are large!), 2 office/family/craft rooms, and sizeable 1.5 baths. A heated sunroom at the back gives you glorious views and main floor laundry while the 3-season room at the front highlights the grounds. Family events and entertaining have been happening in the walls of the large Livingroom, formal Dining room, and modern Kitchen for over 175 years. Numerous original features are still present in the home such as original Greek revival 2 panel doors, Rim-locks, Trim, hardwood flooring (under the carpet!), and original hard growth timber framing. With a livable base, metal roof, Anderson windows, and so many great useable details, this property is prime for sweat equity and a remarkable transformation at your own pace. Like the early inhabitants of the area, you can not only enjoy the unrivaled natural world at your back door, but the many parks, paths, shopping, and dining of the Manchester area. Within a walking/rolling/biking distance, you can do t
