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. All three bedrooms are located on the second floor, offering separation between living and private spaces.   Enjoy relaxing on the covered front porch, and appreciate the practicality of a one-car detached garage. The unheated mudroom provides valuable additional space and is not included in the home's square footage.  A rare opportunity to own a home that beautifully balances historic elegance, modern updates, and a location that puts the best of Alma just steps from your door.   All measurements are approximate and should be verified by buyer.

    "Dog owners would like that their are sidewalks and that it is safe to walk dogs at night or early in the morning. During the winter the sidewalks are not salted though so walking in the street may be a better option. People are pretty good at slowing down and giving my dog and I time to walk past them. "

    "Alma has a great atmosphere in regards to feeling safe in the city. Crime rate is low and crime itself seems very basic and non eventful compared to Saginaw or Flint areas just an hour East."

    "Highland Festival happens annually every memorial weekend in May. This is the biggest event Alma hosts and people come from all over. The schools here are phenomenal as well as preschool options. I would say the only thing Alma is missing is descent outdoor social space for kids and teens. There is a golf course for older folks but as far as a community center or splash park, Alma is definitely lacking."

    "I have lived in this area for three years now and don't mind it. Main street gets crowded on weekends, and there are only 2 parades a year that I have noticed. There is a Dominos Pizza being built so things are looking up for this town. "
