Listing Description

This storybook Victorian in the heart of Empire Village has been charming visitors since the turn of the century. Tucked in the beloved Village of Empire and just a short distance from the wide sandy beach, crystal-clear turquoise waters of Lake Michigan, and the sweeping blue skies above the iconic Sleeping Bear Dunes, this classic "painted lady" is the kind of place people dream about finding in Northern Michigan. Step inside, and the bones are simply outstanding. Ten-foot ceilings, original hardwood floors, solid wood doors, unspoiled wide trim, and a built-in china cabinet — details that reflect a level of craftsmanship you rarely encounter today. The formal dining room and eat-in kitchen nook carry that same timeless character. The inviting front porch welcomes the light and beckons you to sit and visit, while the sun-drenched back deck is made for long afternoons and easy entertaining. The flexible main-floor room with attached bath affords a wonderful option for main-level living. This is your opportunity to bring your vision, your creativity, and your contractor. The home is ready for updating and is priced with that in mind — but the irreplaceable architectural details are already there, waiting to shine. A brand-new septic system is already done, and the oversized 26' x 30' garage with built-in workbench gives you room for vehicles, boats, gear, and projects. A charming stone bench nestled beneath a cedar tree offers a quiet spot to pause and take it all in. This home is for those ready to roll up their sleeves and restore something truly special — creating memories for the next generation in a village that has drawn people to its shores for generations. Or perhaps you're a renovation enthusiast, or someone searching for a one-of-a-kind Northern Michigan retreat to make your own. However you envision it, this Victorian gem rewards vision. Come see the possibilities for yourself. Information is deemed reliable but cannot be guaranteed for its accuracy
