701 N Main Street Step into a remarkable piece of Tuscola history - Built in 1908, this architectural treasure beautifully combines the practicality and functionality of the classic American Foursquare-one of the most popular home styles of the early 20th century-with the elegance and craftsmanship of Prairie School design. The iconic front porch features tapered columns resting on locally sourced stone piers, creating a striking first impression. Situated on a generous 0.80-acre in-town lot along a charming brick street, the property is shaded by two of Tuscola's renowned ginkgo trees and a mature linden tree, providing beautiful views and natural tranquility. Inside, historic charm meets modern comfort. The entrance welcomes you with exceptional original woodwork, including a classic built-in bench framed by Corinthian-style columns and a beautifully crafted staircase. The living room features coffered ceilings, a split-face stone fireplace, and a stunning built-in display cabinet. Throughout the home, you'll find original beveled glass windows, intricately carved millwork, triple crown molding, plate rails, and distinctive windows that highlight the home's timeless design. Leaded glass doors invite you into the screened in porch - perfect for outdoor gatherings and meals. Build in bench seating doubles as additional storage. The formal dining room serves as a showpiece, featuring a striking row of 8-point diamond windows, coffered ceilings, and plate rails that showcase the craftsmanship of the era. The eat in kitchen offers granite countertops, tall shuttered windows, and a convenient butler's pantry, blending historic character with modern functionality. Headed upstairs?- Choose between the elegant main staircase or the charming back stairway. The spacious primary bedroom includes decorative Corinthian columns, ample room for a sitting area, and Jack-and-Jill closets. The attic provides exceptional flexibility with additional storage, a half bath, and abundant natural light through the signature diamond windows-ideal for a bedroom, office, playroom, studio, or guest space. The expansive basement offers multiple rooms suitable for hobbies, recreation, storage, or workshop space, ready for your personal touch. Adding even more appeal is the property's carriage house, a smaller architectural companion to the main residence. With some restoration and care, it offers tremendous potential as a guest house, studio, workshop, or income-producing opportunity. Original brass door hardware remains throughout the home, further preserving its authentic character and craftsmanship. Built by Nathanial Ervin, one of Tuscola's most prominent early citizens and the donor of the land that became Ervin Park, this extraordinary residence offers a rare opportunity to own a significant piece of local history while enjoying the beauty and craftsmanship of a bygone era.
