Same owner since 2007, operating as a Bed and Breakfast/Retreat House, under special usage/variance that may possibly be extended to the new owners. Originally platted in 1856 as the "Village of Mt Crowley" by Thomas Crowley (wife: Anna) with lots 11 and 12 deeded in 1872 to James Cogley (wife: Ellen), remaining in the Cogley family until 1956. The Village of Emmett was officially designated in 1883, prior to which the post office was established in 1869 with the first steam locomotive coming through around 1870. James Cogley was the village president in 1890, 1893-94 and 1904. The house is believed to have been built prior to 1890. Delightful, whimsical vintage-meets-modern as you imagine what life must have been like here 130 years ago, with much of the homes originality still shining through. With nearly 3500 square feet of living space, this RARE FIND includes not just FIVE BEDROOMS but the large sitting room upstairs has its own closet, and could be used as a SIXTH BEDROOM. The FIRST FLOOR BEDROOM is adjacent to a full bath, and along with the FIRST FLOOR LAUNDRY allows maximum flexibility. Comprised of a total of FIVE village lots (with approximate area of 1.10 acres), the original house was built on the north two lots, the other three added later. The southern two lots could potentially be allowed a setback variance, to build a detached garage or pole barn. The backyard (east side) is a retreat within itself, with beautiful stamped concrete patio, decking, hot tub and large multi-purpose shed. The attached garage area was converted in 2007 to an incredible, nearly 50-foot freespan addition, complete with its own heating/cooling and second kitchen or bar area, and could be used for multiple purposes or converted back to an attached garage or workshop. The remaining living area is serviced by a new boiler (2022) and Kinetico Softener System (only 6 months old) and new roof about 10 years ago. All appliances included with acceptable offer'
