305 prospect street, vassar, MI 48768

If walls could talk… this 1,700 sq. ft. colonial, built in 1879, might whisper about horse-drawn carriages clip-clopping down Main Street, 7-cent movie nights, and even a few hidden Prohibition-era surprises for history lovers to discover. Tucked on nearly a half-acre wooded lot on historic Prospect Street in Vassar, this home is a delightful mix of yesteryear’s charm and today’s comfort. Updates like a brand-new Trane furnace installed by Root’s in 2024, newer Goodman AC, a 2021 water heater, vinyl windows, and extra insulation keep life running smoothly (and efficiently). Step onto the colonial-style covered porch, where tall beams frame your welcome, and open the original front door to be greeted by a staircase with its elegant spiral banister. Inside, soaring 9-foot ceilings and huge windows make the home feel light and airy with the wooded seclusion. The open living and dining rooms invite gatherings with durable LVP flooring, a built-in bookcase, and a cozy wood-burning fireplace for fireside stories. The kitchen is equal parts charm and function with its floor-to-ceiling cabinetry, patterned ceiling, subway tile, stainless appliances, and a sweet little bench seat that begs for morning coffee or secret note-passing. Upstairs, three bedrooms await—including a primary suite that’s larger than you’d expect from a home of this era. 1.5 baths and a partially finished walk-out/daylight basement add flexibility for storage, hobbies, or whatever adventures you dream up. Follow the charm outdoors, where a generous stamped patio makes entertaining—or simply soaking up the wooded views—effortless. Tucked just far enough off the road to feel like a hidden gem, yet close enough to enjoy in-town convenience, this historic colonial is ready for its next chapter—and for you to add your own stories to its century-long tale.
