Description
Timeless Victorian charm meets modern convenience in this beautifully updated 3-bedroom, 2-bath home located just one block from downtown Alma and within easy reach of Alma College, the Heartland Trail, shopping, dining, and community events. Thoughtfully remodeled while preserving its historic character, this home showcases a stunning open wood staircase, inviting living spaces, and classic architectural details throughout. The updated kitchen (2023) blends style and function, while major improvements provide peace of mind, including a new furnace (2023), central air (2024), water main (2023), and updated flooring completed between 2023 and 2026. A full bath on each level, along with convenient main-floor laundry, adds everyday functionality.
