Property Description

Introducing The Castle — an extraordinary stone residence of rare historical architectural character overlooking beautiful Lake Huron with a presence that is simply unforgettable. Built in 1902 for State Senator and inspired Romanesque style, this iconic home has been thoughtfully restored and improved, blending timeless craftsmanship with extensive modern updates.Defined by commanding twenty-two-inch-thick stone walls, a signature turret, and expansive porches, the exterior conveys permanence and distinction seldom found today. Inside, the grand foyer opens to a dramatic stair hall rich with intricate woodwork, leaded glass, and hand-carved detail. The gracious living room is anchored by an original Waterford crystal chandelier, while the stunning dining room showcases original oil-on-canvas murals from New York, a paneled ceiling, fireplace, and built-in cabinet. A richly detailed study with leaded glass and a distinctive fireplace adds character, while paneled pocket doors allow the main floor to transition from open living to more intimate settings.A grand staircase rises to the gallery above, creating one of the home's defining architectural moments. Upstairs, five distinctive bedrooms each offer unique charm, while a secondary staircase preserves the home's historic layout. The third-floor ballroom with original hardwood floors provides a rare entertaining space.Over One Million in improvements include renovated kitchen and three baths, refinished wood floors, extensive plaster and trim restoration, major plumbing and electrical upgrades, new boiler and hot water systems, bespoke Castrads radiators from Britain, new roof and turret cedar shakes, rebuilt porches, widened driveway, and new landscaping with irrigation.Steeped in history and architectural beauty, The Castle is a truly rare offering just steps from the waterfront harbor, beach, parks, amphitheater, downtown shops, restaurants, and entertainment. May be purchased fully furnished.
