For those who appreciate the charm and character of historic homes, Livingston County is a great place to find what you’re looking for. The county was formally organized in 1836, and the cities of Howell and Brighton have many homes lining the quiet streets where you can find older homes. A good share have been remodeled to incorporate modern amenities while preserving original details. Let’s take a look at two historic homes that are for sale right now in Livingston County.
6979 Herbst Rd. Brighton, MI 48114
Price: $374,900 Brokered by: ReMax Platinum
Located in Genoa Township in Brighton, this beautiful, historic farmhouse includes ten acres! Built in 1856, this home has been impeccably maintained, and still has original wood flooring. It features 4 beds, 2 baths and 2,288 sq ft. Tons of detail including high ceilings, gorgeous trim and moldings, exposed brick and hardwood floors. With rich history, the home has been in the same family since it was built, with the exception of a few years in the 1930’s. The brick was made locally and brought to the site by wagon. There is also a small brick building that was used to smoke meat which would be hung in the attic for winter. Tons of character to be appreciated!
