A rare find: Originally built in 1900 and enriched with a 1940 addition, this home tells the story of two eras — classic historic charm paired with mid-century appeal, and its been updated for clean modern living. This home carries the warmth of history while embracing modern energy efficiency. With 3 bedrooms (1 non-conforming) spacious updated bathroom, and thoughtful renovations throughout, it’s a rare opportunity to own a piece of Ypsilanti’s story while enjoying contemporary comfort. The heart of the home is its beautifully renovated eat-in kitchen (2025), with new cabinets, counters, flooring, sink, paint, and lighting. Just off the kitchen, the living room holds a Regency 1500 EPA-certified wood stove providing both a nostalgic centerpiece and an eco-friendly complement to the full-house Goodman heat pump HVAC system. Set on an extra-deep 40 x 257 ft lot, the property offers abundant space for gardening, play, and relaxation. Perennial edible, medicinal, and pollinator plantings—alongside apple and walnut trees—make this a truly living landscape. The rear-facing solar panels (with an insurable, transferable warranty) continue the theme of sustainability.
