March 1, 2024

This is such a unique house! Lots of unique details. Part of me thought it looked like a treehouse. Then another angle looks like a church. Then the mirrored ceiling made me think it was a “talk amongst yourselves”. The house was built in 1935. It is located on .35 acre in Holly Michigan. The house is lakefront. There is a small guest house on the property. Love the ceiling in the kitchen. Three bedrooms, two bathrooms and 1,148 square feet. $399,500
