221 Iroquois St, Laurium, MI 49913

Laurium is full of turn-of-the-century (last century) homes but none are as special as this one. Starting with curb appeal' a unique sandstone arch frames the entrance to this home. Lovely gardens line the front and sides of this home. You'll enter into an enclosed porch which has a door to the one-of-a-kind open, half-circle porch with ionic pillars. A perfect place to relax with a cup of coffee. The entrance into the house has an attractive blue and white Grecco-Roman mosaic tile floor. In the foyer, you'll be impressed by the beautiful staircase. There is a built-in bench at the base of the stairs and a roomy storage closet under the stairs. Lovely hard wood floors throughout. To the left of the foyer is the spacious living room which opens to the family room. Both rooms feature bay windows and pocket doors. The cozy family room has a natural gas fireplace. From the foyer going straight ahead you'll find a majestic dining room with a built-in china cabinet, dish rail, crystal chandelier and crown molding. This room can accommodate a large table and chairs. From here you'll enter the kitchen which was remodeled a few years ago and features a breakfast bar, a wall of cabinets, and built-in desk. Storage is not a problem in this house. The kitchen is large enough for a caf table and chairs. Off the kitchen you find the laundry area, darling pink retro bath, a mud room and door to the side yard. Upstairs you'll find 4 huge bedrooms and a full bath. Two of the bedrooms have bay windows. One includes a small bench which can be used as a reading nook. The upper hallway is large enough for a chair to curl up in. The unfinished attic has a floor and the start of adding tongue-in-groove paneling on the ceiling for you to finish. Lots of storage space here. The basement is high and dry and has a very nice electric sauna with shower. The handy person will also appreciate the workshop area. The back yard features a stamped concrete patio, a wooden post swing (included), and beautiful gardens along the original wrought iron fence in back.
