Description

CITY OF LUDINGTON - Step into a rare piece of Ludington history with this beautiful, Victorian 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home originally built in 1867 by James Ludington as a lumber company boarding house, a certified Michigan Heritage Home. Carefully updated while keeping numerous historic features intact, this residence perfectly blends timeless character with modern luxury. The light-filled main level features formal and spacious living and dining rooms, a refreshed kitchen, plus a redone main-floor bathroom equipped with a convenient washer/dryer combo unit (with a full washer and dryer also available in the basement) and low threshold shower. A comfortable main-floor bedroom with double closets offers great flexibility while a versatile second main-floor bedroom has been converted into an office. Highlighting the home's exceptional craftsmanship is a beautiful staircase and a stunning sunroom with windows that open outward to create an open-air sitting experience. The rear mudroom provides seamless entry opening out to a private fenced backyard complete with pergola and leading to the 3-car garage (ideal for two vehicles plus a golf cart). Upstairs, the fully renovated upper level features a spacious primary bedroom boasting a corner sink and a California-style closet with an organizer, a second generous bedroom with a dressing room and double closets alongside a family room currently used as a media/theater room. The upper level also features a remodeled full bathroom with a raised shower/tub unit and access to a dry storage area. Recent improvements include fresh paint (inside and out), new flooring, a new furnace, central air, two new hot water heaters, and brand-new, unused kitchen appliances. Energy efficiency has also been prioritized with the complete removal of old insulation and the installation of new insulation backed by a lifetime warranty, along with new thermapane windows while thoughtfully preserving the original historic windows in the living room.
