Tucked along the tree-lined streets of downtown Lake Orion"”just four doors from the water"”this historic brick colonial carries the quiet charm of another era, when ice harvested from Lake Orion chilled drinks in Detroit's finest restaurants. Step onto the wide covered porch and life instantly slows. It's the kind of porch that pulls you in, inviting slow summer mornings with coffee, lake breezes drifting across the railings, and the gentle hum of downtown just two blocks away. Inside, time feels layered rather than lost. Arched doorways, crystal doorknobs, and well-loved wood floors whisper stories of the generations who've called this place home. The expansive living room, wrapped in earthy tones, is made for lingering. The dining room easily hosts family dinners or impromptu Sunday brunches. The updated kitchen strikes the perfect harmony between old and new with subway tile, newer cabinetry, stainless appliances, and a farmhouse sink that nods to the home's roots. A first-floor office"”or fifth bedroom"”adds welcome flexibility. Upstairs, four oversized bedrooms offer warmth, light, and the spaciousness rarely found in historic homes. The full bath brings a crisp modern edge while honoring the home's timeless aesthetic. The top floor is a nostalgic hideaway tucked beneath peaked ceilings, with clever built-ins and treetop views"”a wonderful bedroom, studio, or reading loft. Below, the basement is an unexpected surprise for a home of this age. A finished family room"”bright, comfortable, and inviting"”sets the stage for cozy movie nights or lively game-day gatherings. It even offers walk-up access to the backyard. Just moments from the lake's energy and the vibrant rhythm of downtown shops and restaurants, this home doesn't shout for attention. It quietly welcomes you, inviting you to slow down, settle in, and become the next steward of its story. Served by acclaimed Lake Orion schools: Paint Creek Elementary, Oakview Middle & Lake Orion High. More features in docs.
