About this property
Centennial home in Empire. Walk to the beach.
Charming and cozy! This 1891 Centennial Home is located in the heart of old Empire on a calm side street. It is only a five-minute walk to Empire beach (Lake Michigan), with miles of sugar sand in each direction to enjoy. This property has 3 bedrooms and 1 bathroom on 2 levels.
The main level bedroom has one queen. Upstairs there are two bedrooms with one double bed, two twins, and a twin rollaway bed. The house has cable, WIFI, and a DVD player. This home has original interiors with modern conveniences. There is a washer/dryer available.
Relax in the spacious backyard with a deck, chimnea for outdoor fires, and grill. There is a beautiful peach tree in the yard, wonderful when the peaches are ripe for picking. Stroll down the street to Tiffany's for ice cream or Joe's Friendly Tavern for a burger. The Empire Beach boasts a beautiful sandy beach and a large playground. Come in May for the Asparagus Festival! It's only a 5-minute drive to the Sleeping Bear Dunes climb and a 25-minute drive to Traverse City.
No air conditioning.
