Open Houses on Aug 20 & 21 from 4-7 pm. Welcome to the Johnson-Stoddard House, a Historic Landmark designated property in the heart of East Lansing. This amazing Tudor style home is adorned with original details like the cedar shake roof and stucco and brick exterior, and has hardwood flooring through much of the interior. Enter through the stained-glass front door, and you’re greeted by a charming staircase in the foyer. To the left you’ll find the formal living room, complete with original woodwork, wood burning fireplace, and crown molding. Off the living room is a sun-filled den for entertaining or relaxing. Walk through the Gothic arch doorway to the right of the staircase into the formal dining room, ornamented with a crystal chandelier and beautiful stained-glass dragons in the transom windows. The spacious kitchen comes with newer appliances and a door that leads outside to a two-tiered deck. Coming in through the backdoor, you’ll enter through a mudroom next to a convenient half-bath. On the rear of the house on the first floor is a bedroom with backyard access, and you’ll find three more bedrooms on the second floor. All four bedrooms come with ample closet space and their own ensuite bath, each one uniquely decorated with detailed ceramic tiles and vanities. The primary bedroom is especially large and comes with a Dutch door closet and reading nook. Tucked away on the second floor is a petite sun porch for a cozy little hideaway. In the basement is a family room with a wood burning fireplace, tile floors, and a billiards table that stays with the home. Walkup-access from the basement brings you to the private backyard, where you’ll find a garden with a charming, dollhouse-like potting shed. Stone paths guide you through the yard and lead you to the detached, two-car garage which has a cedar shake roof to match the home. Don’t miss your opportunity to own a piece of East Lansing history!
