Nestled on a generous .425-acre lot, this spacious brick ranch exudes the timeless allure of Mid-Century Modern design. As you step inside, you're greeted by the warmth of interior brick and new hickory wood floors that span the living, dining room, halls and kitchen/breakfast nook areas. The open-concept living room and dining room feature a brick wood burning fireplace and built-in shelves, while large windows frame views of the large fenced, treed backyard. Descending into the family room, a second fireplace beckons, accompanied by a built-in barbecue grill set amidst ceramic countertops and a striking copper hood. Two exterior doors lead to the backyard 12X18 patio with stone pavers to grade & a 16X10 shed. In the kitchen, a built-in breakfast nook sets the scene for leisurely mornings with Formica countertops, vintage double oven and Jenn-Air cooktop to cater to culinary endeavors. Natural light pours in through a large window above the sink, illuminating the space adjacent to the dishwasher & laundry room closet. Down the north hall, is a full bath that boasts double sinks and a spacious shower. You will also find two deep parallel closets down the hall heading towards the 21'X24' finished two-car garage. Along the south hall, the primary bedroom impresses with three double closets, one featuring built-in drawers, and a large built-in under the window adds to the storage options. A convenient half bath completes this retreat. Two more bedrooms and full bath provides accommodation for family and guests.
Descending to the lower level, you're transported back in time with vintage wallpaper adorning the staircase and wood paneling, perhaps bearing the signature of MSU's head coach, Duffy Daugherty, among the names of past revelers. The basement unfolds with the nostalgic charm of a 1950s wet bar, complete with stools for impromptu gatherings around the fireplace. A butler's pantry with sink adds functionality, while an authentic old wine cellar with a slate floor and wrought iron gate, secured with a brass lock, awaits vinification! This home is a testament to quality craftsmanship and attention to detail; a true one-of-a-kind gem in Okemos, offering character and history.
