LAPEER, MI 48446

Lapeer's "Castle", a unique Romanesque revival built in 1890 offers you the amazing opportunity to live in one of the coolest homes in town. The two matching turrets and a grand arched stone porch greets you as you enter the 5ft wide solid oak door into the most amazing foyer you will see. Spiral staircase, walls and ceiling adorned in an exotic hardwood believed to be old world mahogany. Expansive great room features coffered ceilings and a grand fireplace. Formal dining room is located in one of the turrets and features amazing birds eye maple floors and moldings. Smaller kitchen than modern styles but it does have a butlers pantry as well as a sun filled breakfast room adjacent. 1/2 bath on first floor. Going up the winding staircase you have 4 bedrooms, two full baths and the 2nd floor laundry area. One of the bedrooms has its own bath and each of the turret bedrooms offers pocket door to the adjacent bedroom if you want to expand into just one large bedroom. Amazing woodwork. Up to the third level and you have two more bedrooms. Outside is a large tiered deck that leads towards the oversized 24x32 garage with loft storage. Garage includes a separate workshop area. Loft storage above garage accessible by rear staircase. Brick patio at the basement walkout. Home sits on over 1 acre of private land with a former inground pool but it needs to either be repaired, replaced or filled in if you prefer. The landscaping has been neglected but imagine the curb appeal you can make here. The newer boiler furnace(2019) with steam heat is an amazing & efficient heat system with quite low gas bills for such a large home. The windows are original and many should be repaired. Imagine the options here in this one of a kind home. Lots of ways to utilize this property.....maybe a home based business or office, B & B, Wedding or corporate rental, vacation rental, or just an AWESOME single family home. This home is registered on the National Register of Historic Places.
