Amazing, uncomparable piece of architectural history! Italiante stlye home built in the late 1800s, this home's hand hewn stairway is on the National Historic Registry. In the 1970s, a huge 2 story addition was built which added another full bath, living space, eat in kitchen and 2 bedrooms. Detached, oversize 3 car garage with parking for 6+ and massive 3 city lots! Central heating and a spiral staircase leading to a 3rd story cupola with 360° view, perfect for finishing for a reading room. Main home has a large formal living, original fireplace with massive sliding pocket doors. Formal dining. Eat in kitchen. Laundry room. Second floor has a smaller secondary bedroom and a very large secondary bedroom. Hall bath. Huge master with attached bath. The fourth bedroom is connected to the hall and a small door to master. Both the first and second floor have doors into the first and second floor of the addition, so can be used as one large home or closed off for inlaw suite use. Front door leads into a foyer with another door, to prevent loss of heat. Hallways are amazingly wide and open. Vaulted ceilings. The roof has a leak and there will need to be ceiling repair as well. Therefore, looking for a cash sale or non-conventional sale. Carpeted areas will need replacing, but it only a small area of the home. Priced accordingly, 23k under value. Check out the historic information on this beautiful home! https://www.mlive.com/news/jackson/2014/11/peek_through_time_mystique_of.html https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrew_Wilcox_House

This is such a cool find — an Italianate gem from the 1800s with that amazing third‑story cupola really captures the style’s iconic charm and 360° views, the kind you read about in architectural histories where these homes were designed to bring light and space into everyday living. I’ve personally renovated older houses before and one thing that always stood out in historic builds is how blending original character with smart modern upgrades — like using a smart wifi ac controller to balance comfort without compromising vintage aesthetics — makes living in these places so much more enjoyable. It’s great to see a home with such potential being appreciated for both its heritage and future possibilities.
