Real Estate One®

Home is in the process of being emptied out & cleaned. Inside pictures & video to come soon! 1st time on the market! Family Estate. Current owners' parents were married at St. Marks Church on the Island in 1968 & had their reception at the home when it was owned by a previous family member. Always lived-in year-round. Large Sprawling home with HUGE nicely groomed property. Close enough to the St. Clair River to have a view of passing freighters from EVERY room on the river side of the house, including the living room, dining room, kitchen, screened in porch & 3 of the upstairs beds, but far enough from the busy main road South Channel Drive to have a safe, quiet place for family gatherings, pets, ample room for children to play, parking for RV's, boats etc. River access via an easement that is only shared with the 2 other houses on the street. Perfect for fishing, swimming, a picnic or launching a small boat or Jet Ski. Directly across the river is Canada, specifically Walpole Island, a First Nation Native American Indian Reservation. 3 Lots total, property backs up to woods at the end of a short dead-end street & can be built on as desired. House is primarily as-it-was when built, other than standard maintenance, a new roof, driveway & addition of central heat & A/C. Keep the vintage charm or make it your own, the possibilities are only as endless as your imagination! CENTRAL A/C (on lower floor), CITY WATER, NATURAL GAS, SEPTIC, FIREPLACE, & DIRECT TV equipped. Walking distance to the quaint town of San Souci, where you'll pass Tashmoo Marina on the way, which was once Tashmoo Amusement Park, a favorite destination from 1871 to 1951 via steamships from Detroit &Port Huron, some of which is still standing. "Downtown" San Souci is straight out of a Mark Twain novel & features a Library, Museum & Historical Society, Market, Coffee Shop, Resale store, River Front Shop & soon to re-open historic San Souci Bar & Grill. If you're looking to get away from the hustle & bustle of city life, this location offers a level of History, natural beauty, peacefulness & serenity you'll be hard pressed to find anywhere else. The island is part of the largest freshwater delta in the world, while being within an hour or so from Detroit & its neighboring suburbs via car, which requires taking a short ferry trip to the mainland, increasing its privacy & exclusivity. If you're looking for an outdoorsy refuge to hunt, fish, boat etc, a quiet peaceful getaway, or just a step back to living in a time when things moved slower & people were more polite and friendly...Welcome Home! 1st Floor: oAttached Garage oWorkshop w/Wood Burning Heater oGreenhouse (River View) oBreezeway w/ Screened in Porch (River View) oOutdoor Patio Slab (River View) oKitchen w/Breakfast Area (River View) oDining Room (River View) oLarge Living Room w/FP (River View) oBedroom oOffice Nook o1/2 Bathroom oFull Bathroom 2nd Floor: o2 separate stairwells o5 Bedrooms (3 w/River View) o1/2 Bathroom
