History resides in the wall, floors and aura of this historic home, located in the beautiful Cathedral District of Saginaw. Built in 1899 by a local lumber baron, Fred Buck, who invented the foldable yard stick, this home is just waiting for the restoration of a lifetime. Walking through the door is like walking back in time, with original hardwood floors, expansive ceilings, handcrafted built ins, original hardware and solid wood pocket doors. This 7 bedroom, 4 and 1/2 bath diamond in the rough, also boasts an original carriage house with 3 stalls and a one bedroom apartment with its own kitchen, bathroom and living area. This piece of the past is waiting for the love and passion of someone who wants to bring all of the beautiful original elements to their original glory. Wander around the huge corner lot as you listen for the cathedral bells that toll each day in the distance while you dream of ways to bring this masterpiece of history back to beautiful!
