This charming Craftsman house, with original (Sears catalogue) guest cottage, is one of the few Madison Heights properties with two homes; each independently designed with its own yard, entrance and parking. Both homes embrace the charm, handiwork and natural materials that define a Craftsman. The front porches, with extended roof lines, allow for individuals to sit and enjoy the manicured landscape regardless of the weather. River rock fireplaces, box-beam ceilings, built-in sideboards, and original wood floors add to the charm of these homes. The property has undergone restorations and upgrades throughout the years. The beams, door frames and moldings have all been restored to expose their natural wood finish. Each unit has central air and heat. Impressive river-rock walls surround the entire property. The front house, with a brick-ribbon driveway, has a large porch overlooking the lush landscaping and a private meditation garden with a fountain at the rear. The back cottage, with patios at the front, side and rear has raised garden beds and arches and a fire pit, perfect for evening gatherings. The kitchen boasts a replica of an early 1900's stove. In addition, there is a finished cellar, which was formerly used as a temperature-controlled wine cellar. Whether in retirement or with a young family, one would find tranquility here. The front house is 1,124 sqft with 3 bedrooms and 2 baths. The rear Cottage is 726 sqft with 1 bedroom and 1 bath. The chance to own these well-preserved homes is rare in deed.
