313 E Saginaw St, Saint Louis, MI 48880

This Historic St. Louis home was built by the President of Republic Truck Co between 1917-1920 and has a history as colorful as its beautiful setting. This 4BR, 2 ½ bath monument to American artisans has been maintained and updated with integrity so as not to detract from the elegance of its design. There are 2 sets of French doors, enveloping the gas log fireplace, which open onto a brick patio. 4 built-in bookshelves outline the formal living room. The appliances and quartz countertops were great additions to the kitchen and the oversized dining room is ready for the heartiest of gatherings. The open staircase invites you to the 2nd level which includes all bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms, one BR being a private suite. The ample storage is a surprise with most closets being cedar lined. The 3rd floor has been completely re-built due to a prior fire and is finished to the point of drywall, some built-ins, attic storage areas, but no flooring and a short ceiling in the stairway. The back of the garage use to be used as living quarters and has a covered porch overlooking the yard. The owners have been known to listen to the Fri Night Football games just across the river from this porch. The approx. 1.75 acre yard includes 2 sheds, a section that will remind you of a secret garden and includes a great sledding hill, just make sure to have brakes so you don't end up in the river. Saginaw St is known for its beautifully maintained homes, close to downtown, Clapp Park & multiple schools. The current owner started to install speaker wire throughout the house during the remodel but did not get a chance to complete the project, with the wiring all concluding in a BR closet. This home isn't perfect, but you'll see the pride and care that was given it and ready for the baton to be passed to the next owner to continue.
