Additional Details
Step back in time and experience the charm of a home steeped in history. Built in 1860, this 3-story Italianate house retains much of its original character with intricate detailing and period features throughout. Please note, this home has not undergone extensive remodeling or restoration, preserving its authentic feel.

Guests will appreciate the vintage ambiance, though it should be noted that the property does not currently have air conditioning and heating is maintained by the original steam heat radiators and boiler system that can make maintaining a consistent temperature throughout the building a bit challenging. Measures have been taken to regulate this as much as possible with the age and heating system type.

Rest assured, while this residence reflects its age, it is maintained in a clean condition. Perfect for those who appreciate historical architecture and are looking for a unique, budget-friendly stay in Bay City.
