Description

Historic one-of-kind estate. Situated steps away from the fabled AuSable River at the Cooke Pond access. Just off River Rd Scenic Byway in the midst of the Huron National Forest and year around outdoor activities. This beautiful 2192 SF 2 1/2 story home was built in 1909 in the Classic Revival style and originally used to provide accommodations for workers constructing Cooke Dam. After undergoing extensive renovations in 2018 it now offers a fresh take on the “Up North” getaway, blending rustic charm with modern comfort. The centerpiece of this home the two level kitchen and dining area that is bathed in sunlight from vaulted ceilings, skylights, and floor to ceiling windows. It flows seamlessly into an outdoor stone veneered entertaining area where your guests will naturally congregate. The first floor also has more formal living and dining rooms as well as a sitting room/ parlor. There’s even a small, sunlit area that is currently being used as an office and fly tying room. The second floor has three more bedrooms and a full bathroom. The original flooring, doors, and trim remain intact giving it that historic Bed and Breakfast vibe. The third level has been recently used as overflow sleeping quarters but could easily be transformed into a multi-purpose room. Right next door you’ll find a 30’x36′ fully heated and cooled garage/shop with electric service that will handle several large shop tools. It also has a 3/4 bath with a custom walk-in shower and Sauna. There’s even a small commercial ice maker for entertaining! Up the stairs you’ll find a large bonus room complete an outdoor balcony that overlooks the manicured grounds. In addition, there is a 24’x42′ finished garage with plenty of space so that no toy has to sit outside. There’s even a small playhouse for the kids! This historic home is the perfect getaway for sharing the unmatched beauty of Northern Michigan while hosting large groups of family and friends for generations to come.
