Description

Welcome to 834 S. Barnes Street in Mason, Michigan, affectionately known by its owners as "Hill Haven." Rich in history and thoughtfully restored, this remarkable home offers the perfect blend of timeless character and modern comfort. For perspective, the home was built in 1865, the same year the Civil War officially ended. This early Mason homestead was constructed using durable chestnut framing lumber, a rare feature that speaks to the home's enduring craftsmanship. Over the years, skilled tradesmen and dedicated contractors have meticulously restored and updated the home with exceptional attention to detail while preserving its historic charm. The result is a move-in-ready residence that honors its past while providing the conveniences today's homeowners appreciate. Inside, you'll find soaring ceilings, abundant natural light from oversized windows, and beautifully preserved architectural details throughout. Many of the windows retain their original dimensions after careful restoration, enhancing the home's authentic period character. The spacious first-floor primary suite offers comfort and convenience, complete with a walk-in closet that can also serve as a private library. The adjoining full bathroom features distinctive natural rock tile accents, creating a warm and inviting retreat. The first-floor laundry area is thoughtfully designed and includes a convenient fold-down workspace. Rich, solid hardwood flooring flows throughout much of the main level, primarily featuring cherry wood, while the original pine floors remain in the primary bedroom and continue upstairs. The second floor offers two additional bedrooms along with another custom full bathroom showcasing complementary rock tile finishes. The completely remodeled kitchen is sure to impress, featuring a striking maintenance-free porcelain island countertop, brand-new appliances, and a free-standing, 7-foot, 19th century wooden pantry cupboard that perfectly complements the space while providing additional storage. From the kitchen, the home flows seamlessly into the formal dining room and then into the inviting parlor/living room, highlighted by a beautiful bay window and original wood trim and hardware that have been lovingly preserved. Additional charming details include an antique brass mechanical winding doorbell and a bright three-season front porch that provides the perfect place to relax and enjoy the surroundings. Situated on more than 1.4 acres, the property offers exceptional outdoor space rarely found within the city. Designated as a Certified Wildlife Habitat, the grounds provide endless opportunities for gardening, recreation, or creating your own urban farm. Completing the property is a historic three-level carriage house/barn with a durable metal roof, offering abundant space for storage, hobbies, workshops, or future projects. A current property survey is available within the marketing materials. This is a rare opportunity to own a beautifully restored piece of Mason's history—where historic craftsmanship, thoughtful renovations, and peaceful outdoor living come together to create a truly extraordinary place to call home.
