1508, Forres, St. Joseph, MI, 49085

Set on an oversized 1.5 lot across from Milton Park along one of downtown St. Joseph's most treasured brick streets, this beautifully preserved and updated historic home offers nearly 3,000 square feet of living space just blocks from Lions/Park access & Silver Beach, downtown shops and restaurants, the farmers market, festivals, and Lake Michigan sunsets.

Rich original woodwork, hardwood floors, crown molding, built in cabinetry, oversized windows, and gracious room sizes showcase the craftsmanship and character that define St. Joseph's finest historic homes. Extensive updates include approximately $50,000 in Renewal by Andersen windows, a new roof and gutter guards in 2024, fresh interior and exterior paint, new garage door, updated primary shower, and new gas fireplace insert.

Relax on the expansive covered front porch with its classic porch swing, enjoy the historic covered carriage entrance, and experience one of Southwest Michigan's most desirable walkable neighborhoods. The flexible floor plan features a welcoming living room with new gas fireplace insert, formal dining room, spacious family room with French doors to the expansive deck, eat in kitchen with walk in butler's pantry, and a main floor bedroom, office, or bonus room. Upstairs offers 3 spacious bedrooms, including a primary suite with updated shower and convenient in suite laundry.

The unfinished 3rd floor/attic with dormer and large window provides exciting potential for future living space, a studio, hobby room, fitness area, or private retreat.

Outside, the oversized lot offers a fenced backyard, expansive deck, mature landscaping, oversized two car garage, and abundant off street parking, a combination that is increasingly difficult to find this close to downtown.

Properties of this caliber rarely become available at this size, location, and price point. Historic character, modern updates, future expansion potential, generous outdoor space, and one of the most desirable locations in St. Joseph combine to create a truly exceptional place to call home!
