400, Hoffman, Three Rivers, MI, 49093

Own a piece of Three Rivers history. This classic tudor home was built in 1929 by Wert Hazen, owner of numerous lumber yards in the region. It was later purchased by Gus Armstrong and is often referred to as the ''Armstrong'' house. It was the Armstrong family who later added the pool in 1957 to allow Mrs. Armstrong to enjoy her love of diving.
Wood paneling and trim, rounded corners and barreled ceilings play a featured role in this iconic home. The main entrance to this home is completely wood paneled with built-in hat racks in the coat closet. All original 2 inch thick doors complete the entryway and are found throughout the house. This home features a formal living room with a working wood fireplace, built-in bookshelves and a beautiful bay window. Double doors lead to the screened in porch and the family room. The family room provides double door access to the pool house and the formal garden. Beautiful wood paneling and corner built-in corner china cabinets add grace to the formal dining room. Ample storage with louvered doors provide room for your linens and serveware needs. A butler's pantry connects the dining room to the large laundry room with multiple storage cabinets, laundry sink and washer/dryer. The large eat-in kitchen features a walk in pantry and a double oven. The main floor contains a full bath with shower. Moving up the beautiful stairway, the wood floors and barrelled hall ceiling will immediately catch your eye. Each bedroom has a unique coving to the ceilings. Ample closets are available in each bedroom. A cedar closet and linen closet with pull out shelves provide for your upstairs storage needs. The original "lady of the house" prefered the bathroom functions to all be separate, so the shower room, tub room and water closet all are rooms of their own. At the top of the staircase a door leads to the attic space and a hallway flanked with storage that will take you over the portico to the office space over the garage. This is a great bonus space that can be repurposed in many ways. Located on 1.49 acres within the city limits, it features both a substantial yard and a formal garden in the rear.
A home like this rarely comes on the market. Don't miss your chance to make it yours.
