This is an exquisite 1875 historical home known as a Folk Victorian is hard to find! Remarkable restoration retained authentic beauty in keeping the elaborate interior & exterior decor and appointments, an unusual find in a world of copy cat construction. The original 80 acres was owned by the Empey family in the late 1800's & this treasure remains on 20 of the original Metamora Hunt acres, where the occasional rider or carriage still trot down the roads. Mature trees, a beautiful 1 acre pond w/gazebo and 15 acres of woods for hunting or hiking enhance this site. A circle driveway brings you to the entrance with a leaded glass front door, opening to the Parlor w/high ceilings, tall moldings & floor trim, large bedroom, full bath, study or nursery and laundry room. An historic Hunt-themed hearth room w/pegged floors and full brick wall fireplace is delightful, and flanks a large family room w/access to the deck and hot tub. New custom kitchen w/granite island & counters leads to dining in an eye catching Octagon room w/vaulted ceiling and walls of windows. The 2nd floor offers 2 bedrooms and a primary suite with sitting area, huge walk in closet, lovely new bath and attic access for storage. A very cool & dry Michigan basement has exceptional storage, workshop, wine cellar, furnace & brand new hot water heater. Carriage-style 3 car garage w/loft to finish and 2 historical barns w/water, electric & charming appeal. Metal roof, whole house attic & ceiling fans & beautifully maintained for its new owners to make memories. In Metamora, all year activities include Music in the Park, Country Days & Hot Air Balloon Festival, Halloween Candy Drop, theater & book signings at the Historical Society, a Library & wonderful meals on the patio or special holidays at the White Horse Inn. Visit the General Store for wine tastings, shopping, lunch or coffee & experience the parades and equine events hosted by the community and the occasional horse drawn carriage! Home Warranty.
