MACKINAC ISLAND, MI - There are not many homes in Michigan that boast having views of the Mackinac Bridge. This historic island home is within visual distance of Lake Huron and walking distance of all the fresh fudge your taste buds can savor.
Built in 1889, this Victorian home is located at 7899 Algonquin St. on Mackinac Island’s West Bluff. The eight-bedroom, 5,227 square-foot estate is on the market for $2.69 million.
This Mackinac Island home’s living room overlooks the lake, with plenty of outside space to entertain guests on the wrap-around veranda.
“The views are spectacular,” Realtor Scott Rausch of Rausch and Associates told MLive. “You can see Cheboygan, you can see Mackinac City, Bois Blanc Island and Round Island. It’s just great to sit up there and watch the boats go by. To watch the fireworks, there couldn’t be a better spot along the water on the 4th. You’ve got your own VIP seating.”
This is MLive’s House of the Week. Homes from across the state are featured every Wednesday.
The home is for summer living only. It is not winterized. It does come furnished and Rausch says he believes the house is fairly priced because it needs some updating.
“This is realistically priced and the sellers are motivated,” Rausch said. The home is ready for someone to either move in or start renovations. It is one of the older cottages. I would say someone would probably want to renovate it because the windows and some things need updating. Renovations can be fun, challenging and rewarding.”
