Property Description

This lovely lady is part of the iconic row of historic brick Italianates in the g rowing city of Manchester, built at the end of the Civil War. On a prime location overlooking the Raisin River, this 5-bedroom, 2-bath house is far more than it seems! At over 2200 sq ft with 9-foot ceilings (Including the basement!), there is space for everyone and everything. The main floor not only has updated kitchen, bath, flooring, and wall coverings, but it contrasts with gorgeous historical details like the turned newel post/banister, ruby glass transom, and a fireplace with original mantel. Completing the main floor is an office/sitting area off the living room, a main floor bedroom, a formal dining room, and a private screened-in porch. Upstairs (and yes, there are 2 flights of stairs!), you will find 4 large bedrooms, an extra family room (could also be used as a bedroom), a full bath, and laundry. With updates including electrical, plumbing, roof, and windows, and sewer/water lines, you cankick back and enjoy your new space from the start! Like its sister houses in the row, this property is built out of locally sourced clay that is site-fired, creating a warm reddish orange brick. This, coupled with the classic brick arched windows, heavy stone sills, and visually appealing symmetry, contrasts perfectly with the mature trees and lush landscape of the Raisin River in your backyard. The sizable back deck not only has privacy but gives up close views of the river and the wildlife (like Herons, eagles, turtles, beavers, and other large birds) that regularly come down the river valley. Location of this property has MAJOR advantages! Just across the street is Chi-bro Park. With lots of play equipment, walking/biking trails, pickleball/basketball courts, disk-golf and more-you have LOTS of space to play and explore. Next door to the property is River Raisin Park. With boardwalks, a dock, and Kayak launch, you also have a great spot to watch the 4th of July fireworks display! When you explore the rest of the town, you will find
