201 Abbott Woods Drive, East Lansing, MI 48823

Property Description

Welcome to this one-of-a-kind 1917 English cottage tucked under the trees in Abbott Woods Condos. From the brick façade and copper gutters to the original woodwork, this home brings the storybook aesthetic to life. Step under the brick-arched covered entry and through the original arched wood door into a warm foyer, complete with rich oak floors and a stairway that still boasts its original curved handrail. The hardwood continues into a light-filled living room, where large windows bring in the outdoors and a fireplace with its original tile surround and wood mantle offers a cozy focal point. At the back, a sunroom-style nook features original trim and a built-in desk—perfect for work, reading, or pretending you're in a British novel. The main level includes a first-floor primary suite with a private bath and a wall of closets. You'll also find a formal dining room, a kitchen with a mix of original character and potential for updates, and a butler's pantry with built-in storage. Tucked just off the kitchen is a convenient half bath and first-floor laundry. The back entryway adds daily function and charm, leading you out to the yard with ease. Upstairs, you'll find three generously sized bedrooms each tucked under the eaves with interesting angles, dormers, and hardwood floors that run throughout. A second full bath includes period tile, a beautifully refinished tub, and even more built-in hallway storage. The basement offers plenty of additional storage space, and the two-car garage includes a bonus loft area. And because whimsy shouldn't come with a weed trimmer, lawn care is included through the HOA. This home is ideal for anyone who appreciates character, space, and a break from the suburban copy-paste aesthetic. It's got personality, history, and just enough modern practicality to make life easy.
