514 W MADISON Street Ann Arbor, MI 48103

A rare opportunity to own one of the most prominent historic homes on the Old West Side, the John and Emily Bonin House, c. 1898. This unique Second Empire-inspired brick home, which features a full length front porch and a mansard roof, is the perfect blend of historic charm and modern updates. The home features three stories of updated living space plus a partially furnished walkout basement and a large two-story garage/carriage house that could be used for a workshop, studio, storage, or converted to an ADU. The home was featured on the Old West Side historic homes tour in 2017.
The interior of the home features four bedrooms (including a full floor master bedroom with views of downtown Ann Arbor, and one bedroom that is a two-room suite), a first floor den/office, a basement family room/office with fireplace, two updated bathrooms (one with a large walk in shower), an updated kitchen, and large living and dining rooms.
The outside of the home has a huge fully fenced backyard, beautiful landscaping by Lotus Gardenscapes, and a covered and private side porch.
The home is perfectly located across the street from Wurster Park, one block from the acclaimed Bach Elementary School, on the AATA 27 bus line, and easily walkable and bikeable to downtown Ann Arbor, University of Michigan's Central Campus, and Michigan Stadium.
