Description

Authentic Modern Farmhouse! A Chicago bricklayer named Griffiths built this modern style farmhouse in the 1930s for summering in Saugatuck. It even had a flat roof in the beginning - along with chickens in the basement. An heirloom Cortland apple tree and various berry bushes survive still. When materials were hard to come by for the addition in 1944, it meant the kitchen ceiling would be made from reclaimed wood. Griffiths' resourceful, unfussy, close-to-nature spirit and now vintage style has been retained in the recent renovations and upkeep. The result is a home that's welcoming and low key, as full of life as the rewilded area at the back of the property (which adjoins city land).Also unique on the large, edge-of-Saugatuck property is the privacy and quiet. This while beingwalking distance from downtown and the riverfront. Plenty of room here for a swimming pool and/or an additional dwelling unit.
Enjoy the open porch in mild weather and gather around the full-masonry fireplace
