Property Description
Step into a remarkable piece of Northern Michigan history with this one-of-a-kind property, rich in heritage, character, & charm. Once serving as Otsego County's original courthouse, the building later became Reid's Inn, then the Poplar Inn, & most recently the Otsego Lake Inn. Today, this historic landmark is a private residence ready for its next chapter. Offering more than 5,000+ SQFT of living space, the home features 7 bedrooms, 3 full bathrooms, & 1 half bathroom. Several bedrooms provide access to the expansive second-floor enclosed sleeping porch spanning the front of the home. Generous gathering spaces include a grand game room, stately reception parlor, & formal dining room with seating for up to 16. The spacious kitchen offers abundant cabinet & counter space, a breakfast nook, & a butler's pantry. Multiple porches & verandas provide inviting spaces to relax & enjoy the peaceful surroundings. Outdoors, enjoy a full-size hot tub ideal for evenings under the stars, along with an outdoor shower area. The home sits on just under half an acre & includes an additional 1.23-acre wooded parcel, offering added privacy & space to explore. Located 3 blocks from Otsego State Park & boat launch & near the Iron Belle Trail & main Otsego snowmobile trail, this property offers year-round access to Northern Michigan recreation. During the warmer months, enjoy the renowned Gaylord Golf Mecca & its numerous championship golf courses, while winter brings nearby downhill & cross-country skiing opportunities. The seller has completed extensive work throughout the years, including updates to the plumbing, electrical, & HVAC systems, while preserving much of the home's original character. Many of the doors, windows, trim, flooring, cabinetry, & mouldings remain original.
