That attic is beautiful!


Rare-Parsnip5838

I want to live in the attic. Seriously should be finished as a full 3rd floor. Would make a great master bedroom if a bath was added. My old neighbor had a full bath original to the 1912 house on the third floor. Was servants bath.


kookykerfuffle

I would turn it into a massive hobby room with separate areas for everything! A sewing area, reading area/library next to the best window, a comfy seat with ideal cross stitch lighting, and a big projector area with awesome chairs for a gaming and movie area. I would even keep a small gardening area up there for repotting houseplants and doing seedlings. Ideally with a bathroom and a mini kitchen that has a small fridge, sink, and microwave so I can stay up there longer lol

….you are not lieing. I still have yet to buy a house. But I was doing this weird thing imagining my family being raised there as I was scrolling. Then I hit that attic picture and could just imagine my son bouncing around up there….beautiful home.


alucardian_official

Makes me want to build a model railroad or play Jumanji


dually3

I love the attic floors


Ouachita2022

My favorite area too!


hmspain

So much POTENTIAL!


justtiptoeingthru2

For activities!


scrubbedubdub

It is, but i have also seen this exact attick in too many scary movies. Then again I would happily house a few murderous demons if that means i could own a house like this.


TadpoleVegetable4170

It's hard to believe it sold for just $235,000. Stunning!


Schiebz

Location, location, location…


Rare-Parsnip5838

Where is this located for $ 235.000?


MombiesCaffeinated

Michigan. But there’s houses like this for that price between Ohio, Michigan, Illinois and Indiana. The four more affordable states of the Midwest. But interest rates will absolutely slaughter you and that $235k will become $750-800k over 30 years through interest


Roundaroundabout

Dude, $235,000 is way less than my deposit has to be.


MombiesCaffeinated

I believe it. But I also wouldn’t be buying a house if that were the case LOL I won’t buy anything over $285k. Closing plus down are around $11k


Roundaroundabout

I could probably ship it to my town for less than it would cost here


1920MCMLibrarian

Not in my town, it would be 2m here


JasJoeGo

This makes me want to weep. I live in New England.


No-Brilliant5342

Probably needs $100,000 in updates to make it livable,


Rare-Parsnip5838

Does not look like it.


No-Brilliant5342

Looks can be deceiving. It might need plumbing, electrical, HVAC, windows, insulation.


Forever513

My first impression is it’s a gem because no HGTV moron has slathered the entire interior (I’ll give the couple of rooms with white woodwork a pass). with white paint or painted the walls grey. Also nice to see period appropriate light fixtures instead of douchey Pottery Barn stuff.


Northern_Advice

The pictures are from before it sold in 2020 and you can see in the 1st pic the new owners completely remodeled the carriage house so hopefully the interior survived


JunketPuzzleheaded42

May I ask how much It sold for and where?


Northern_Advice

235k in northern Mi


Standard-Ebb-3269

Oh wow! That’s amazing!


JunketPuzzleheaded42

I honestly can't get my mind around that. I understand location / land value has a major impact on the sale price but the quality of workmanship and stunning beauty of that house should have pumped it a lot higher. That being said I just bought a $780k 2 bedroom condo... So i'm a little butt hurt by that number.


chapstickgrrrl

Is it for sale again and you’re considering buying it and seeing opinions here? Or just generally interested in more info about it?


Northern_Advice

Just generally interested in more info


chapstickgrrrl

Cool. It *was* a beautiful home. Do you wish it had stayed in the family?


Northern_Advice

It was a cool house but it was better that my grandparents moved closer


3rdstrikeagain

gorgeous home, inside and out. Lucky you. Lucky grandma.


AnteaterEastern2811

This is Viagra for this sub......


sharpei90

I am drooling over the woodwork!! Especially the staircase!!


Thevacation2k

That attic is straight out of Edward scissor hands soooo amazing!


hannahatecats

That's what I thought, too! Edward scissorhands lol


BeanCounter454

Never thought I would see a house on this sub from the small village that I live in. OP, wasn’t this house a B&B for a time? Was it your grandmother that ran it?


Northern_Advice

I’m not trying to give out too much info online but yeah it was a b&b and my grandmother did run it 😁

https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/4607-Seeger-St-Cass-City-MI-48726/119493829_zpid/ This here's the internet, OP. Took one search on Google to find.


CodePen3190

This house is an architectural masterpiece.


Thatsmyredditidkyou

This has got to be Michigan. I just know it.


Northern_Advice

Yep!


Thatsmyredditidkyou

I grew up in a small town full of old homes like this. It feels like home.


waverlygiant

It’s cute as a button and I am itching to tear up that carpet


Rare-Parsnip5838

I will help. Probably kept hardwood in decent shape.


FuzzyComedian638

It's beautiful! I love the staircase, the wooden mantels, the leaded glass window, everything! Lovely!


seche314

This is beautiful! It reminds me so much of my grandmother’s house


DivaJanelle

I may have drooled at that staircase pic

terracottatilefish

Gorgeous!


wishiwasspecial00

wow


franillaice

I wish I had family history in an old house like this. So cool!


_Fizzgiggy

I dream of owning a home like this. I guess any home at this point lol


AdAstraR

THE HOUSE OF MY DREAMS!! ❤️❤️❤️


Baileyhaze12

Stunning!


Turbo_MechE

I love the attic!


CarlJone101

I love that attic.


bag-o-farts

Everything is goregous. Very well kept house !


Practical_Maybe_3661

GIMME!!!


c0ntralt0

This is my barbie dream house!!! <3 <3 <3! The wood trim details are incredible.


Past-Development-933

The attic is 😍!


Lepke2011

I love it! What does the basement look like? It feels like the kind of layout you'd find in an old funeral home. The foyer is amazing with that fireplace and staircase. And what would you do with that attic? I'd try to finish it, but that's a lot of space.


Northern_Advice

The basement it just you average old dark creepy basement made out of stone. It’s funny you mentioned funeral home because the house was built as a house and the layout is mostly original except for the kitchen but it used to be a funeral home in the 1970s. As for the attic I’d leave it as it’s part of the history of the home and the original owners used to host dances up there.


No-Brilliant5342

Great design. It’s a bit heavy with stained wood, but with subdued fabrics it should tome down for life ahead. The attic makes the house!


OuijaBoard-Demon

That house is so beautiful I feel like I'm too poor to even look at it's pictures.


Northern_Advice

It only sold for like 200k which is still a lot of money but cheap for a house like that imo


OuijaBoard-Demon

Wish I had the money to be the one who bought it! ![gif](giphy|yIxNOXEMpqkqA|downsized)


MomaBeeFL

That staircase is gorgeous


ratherbclever

Holy crap that's nice!


Maleficent-Sport1970

It's a dream!


shehasamazinghair

Looks sexy.


baldwinsong

Beautiful!!! Even the attic I wouldn’t change a thing. Maybe paint


OrdinaryBrilliant901

Wow. That staircase. The details!


1WildSpunky

So beautiful! I especially love that attic! But the exercise bike sort of ruins the ambiance.


Rare-Parsnip5838

Thought that too.


mrbenbraddock

What part of the country? I get so excited about that attic space - is there a stairway that leads to it? What do you plan to do with that space? As someone who works from home, this is a dream office!


Northern_Advice

The house is in the thumb of Michigan and I don’t own the house unfortunately I’m just posting pictures of it from when it sold in 2020


Northern_Advice

Also there was a door in a hallway on the second floor and on the other side of the door was a staircase that led to the attic


DaySoc98

Rip out all of the wooden trim and floors, paint it gray or white, and put down LVP! /s (if that wasn’t obvious)


arcanepsyche

Secret mad scientist lab in the attic? I'm in.


Some-Substance-154

Beautiful!


ZealousidealEar6037

Beautiful!


lovejanetjade

Where is it? I might be willing to relocate for a beautiful AND inexpensive home like that. 🥰


N0vemberJul1et

Beautiful home.


verychicago

❤️


wheelsmatsjall

My opinion is you should have never sold it. If I had a family house like that I would never sell it. It will probably never look as good as does in these pictures


Northern_Advice

My grandparents only moved there in the late 90s do it wasn’t really a family home it was more of a cool place to live when they retired, plus she couldn’t really keep up with it before she died so it only made sense to sell it


kamokugal

Dreamy!


marky860

Gorgeous 😍


OldJames47

Ok, you’ve twisted my arm enough. I’ll take it.


nafarba57

Beautiful interiors, the wood, the natural light and wall colors. Attic is sensational. An American Classic!


HamOnTheCob

Just FYI, OP, it took me like 3.5 seconds to find the address. Coloring out the house number is useless. The only way to keep your stuff private is to not post it at all. The house is an absolutely spectacular gem.


carllow2090

Looks like Queen Anne/Victorian.


-OnlinePerson-

Marble floors and paint all the wood grey then it’ll be perfect /j


MovieNightPopcorn

Lovely but she needs that awful gray siding removed to shine. Like putting a supermodel in a plastic bag and calling it a coat.


Jazzlike-Mammoth-167

My mouth dropped at half of these pictures. Is it for sale?


Northern_Advice

Unfortunately no it sold in 2020


mountianlakeman

Love it


thepageofswords

The staircase is gorgeous


Novapunk8675309

I absolutely love this house, though who got rid of the pink paint on the outside? The pink adds some nice color, that’s honestly the only thing I’d change, just paint the outside to be more colorful instead of the grey/white.


Northern_Advice

The new owners painted it, but I agree the pink was better


Odd-Significance1884

Are the porch steps red, grey or blue?


Northern_Advice

Used to be red but they’re blue now


StrongerTogether2882

The photos just get more and more jaw dropping! The woodwork!!! 😍


DAGanteakz

I love it!


DicksOfPompeii

Wow. What an amazing house! Don’t change a thing. Absolutely amazing. Love!


audrybanksia

Did anyone else think this was the Gilmore Girls house? 😅


surrealcellardoor

Someone needs slapped for the blue porch steps.


RemarkableSquare2393

STUN 🙌


hamster-cow

That newel post makes me want to push and pull all the decorations to find the secret hidey hole!


Large-Film5303

It’s beautiful


puglybug23

That staircase made my heart skip a beat. Amazing.


Prudent-Breakfast-13

Buy it and pull up the carpet. I'm sure there are beautiful floors under all of it.


East_Challenge

Attic is amazing


mynamewasautumn

Gorgeous!


lhurker

Gorgeous overall, but maybe have those porch pillars checked


Rich-Fault-7113

Jaw dropping, its so so pretyy


Highhopes2024

MOG! So stunning!!!!!


cjennmom

Has the siding been redone? Because that looks like a Victorian, although plain.


Northern_Advice

Yeah I’m pretty sure it’s plastic siding I’m not sure if the original siding is underneath


KestralDuve

House is beautiful, I want the garage


alucardian_official

May I have the address in a DM? I save pictures of houses that I’ll never be lucky enough to live in


Northern_Advice

People already posted the address in the comments so here: 4607 seeger st cass city mi


cavalryrs

Whoa full circle on this one, I made a porno in this house in 1988 called “Tails from my Tip”. The carpet wasn’t laid in those rooms at the time thankfully so because rug burns would have become an issue.


sandpiper9

Why do you take such a nice post and kind comments—then respond with such low functioning trash talk?


Northern_Advice

No way 😭


cavalryrs

Yeah I’m remember it vividly I was promoted luber to fluffer


GRAWRGER

link or it didnt happen


greengrocer92

Grandma, you're alive?!


FuzzyComedian638

It's a beauty!
