Take ownership of a piece of history with this exceptional 4Bd/2Bth Allegan home. This unique property is steeped in character with the influence of the former homeowner, Art Prize winner Cat Boysen evident throughout. From stunning murals and distinctive wall treatments to antique doors sourced from local landmarks, intricate inset tiles, and more, this residence is truly one of a kind. The kitchen is adorned with an antique porcelain sink, complemented by a newer dishwasher and a Reverse Osmosis tap for drinking water. The Butlers pantry features a built-in cabinet with bar set-up (currently being used as a closet). Standout features include a built-in ''Narnia'' closet in the mudroom and a captivating antique armoire in the upstairs hall that will remain for the new owners. Enjoy a mix of seclusion and proximity to everything!! Step outside and revel in the picturesque surroundings. Watch the sunset and enjoy listening to local concerts hosted in the nearby revitalized Downtown and the Allegan County Fairgrounds from your choice of front porch, pergola, or wrap-around screen porch with a hot tub hook up under the back deck. With masterfully engineered landscaping, explore the manicured trails and sustainable gardens, including a salad garden, perennials, annuals, a unique Alice Redbud, 26 versions of Hostas, Trumpet Vine, a water fountain, and a Koi pond. The property's back section features a large private pond with a pump house building, along with a variety of fruit-producing trees and bushes including over 150 apple, boysenberry, and cherry trees, grape vines, and raspberry and blackberry patches. Nature's glory abounds as deer, turkey, eagles, and other wildlife visit the property regularly. Additional highlights include three outbuildings; the pump house, a "zombie/garden shed", and a huge heated and insulated main barn with ample storage space, multiple segmented areas for so many future possibilities, two 12' doors on the front, a 10' door on the back, and features a centerpiece that can't be replicated, French doors from an old Kalamazoo church. Stepping through those doors from the front to the back of the barn, you will find an workshop/art studio designed and created to be an art piece of its own. This versatile space is suitable for year-round use. Experience the distinctive charm of 990 River and uncover everything this exceptional property has to offer! |
