1109 w genesee street, lapeer, MI 48446

Lapeer's "Castle", a unique Romanesque revival built in 1880 offers you the amazing opportunity to live in one of the coolest homes in town. The two matching turrets and a grand arched stone porch greets you as you enter the 5ft wide solid oak door into the most amazing foyer you will see. Spiral staircase, walls and ceiling adorned in an exotic hardwood believed to be old world mahogany. Expansive great room features coffered ceilings and a grand fireplace. Formal dining room is located in one of the turrets and features amazing birds eye maple floors and moldings. Smaller kitchen than modern styles but it does have a butlers pantry as well as a sun filled breakfast room adjacent. 1/2 bath on first floor. Going up the winding staircase you have 4 bedrooms, two full baths and the 2nd floor laundry area. One of the bedrooms has its own bath and each of the turret bedrooms offers pocket door to the adjacent bedroom if you want to expand into just one large bedroom. Amazing woodwork. Up to the third level and you have two more bedrooms. Outside is a large tiered deck that leads towards the oversized 24x32 garage with loft storage. Garage includes a separate workshop area. Loft storage above garage accessible by rear staircase. Brick patio at the basement walkout. Home sits on over 1 acre of private land in town and does have an inground pool that is need of filling in or major repairs. This large of lot in this location may be ideal for commercial development someday being located directly across from RiteAid. Fenced rear yard does have some panels knocked over and needs some attention. Landscaping did get a bit overgrown and is in need of some shrub trimming. Inside the windows are mostly original and will soon need to be repaired or replaced. Highest gas heat bill was only $350. Steam heat is an amazing & efficient heat system and furnace is only a few years old. Could make an excellent B&B or just an amazing private residence and hold it until it becomes an ideal & profitable commercial development at M21/M24
