Property Description

This stately, historic, 1911 home was the residence of John and Pearl Affeldt, prominent citizens of Lansing in the early to mid-twentieth century. John was a founder of the Bank of Lansing in 1928, a prominent Lansing merchant, and a leader in a number of local civic organizations. This home features beautiful original oak woodwork, hardwood floors, and a grand front porch with a swing. A unique highlight is the vintage, hand-painted dining room mural by artist Harry Winfield, who also did work for Warner Brothers. The spacious kitchen, dining, and living areas are ideal for entertaining. The living room includes a fireplace, and a 1920s Knabe grand piano is available for purchase with the house (appraisal available upon request). The home includes four bedrooms and two and one-half tiled bathrooms. The primary suite features a large walk-in closet and a full bath, with an additional full bath located on the second floor and a half bath on the first level. Notably, this property operated as the "ASK ME HOUSE" Bed and Breakfast from 1993 to 2003. It has been a single family residence since that time. The exterior features a detached two-car garage, a fenced and gated backyard, natural landscaping, and beautiful mature trees including maple, white birch, beech, dogwood, and horse chestnut. Key updates include: Garage roof (2024), Refinished wood floors (2022), New Lennox boiler (2022), Driveway concrete re-leveling (2020), and Three mini-splits for cooling (2018). This is a grand home with a great history and is looking for its next proud owner. Property is being sold "as is."
