About this home
Different in the best possible way. If you've been searching for a home with unmistakable character, timeless craftsmanship, and an unbeatable location, you will love 721 Seymour. Just a short walk to the Michigan Capitol, Lansing Community College, downtown restaurants and Old Town, this remarkable historic home offers a rare combination of architectural beauty and everyday practicality. An added bonus is the attached one-bedroom, one-bath mother-in-law apartment with in-unit laundry, currently generating $925 per month in rental income. This would also be an amazing space to keep a friend or family member nearby while giving everyone autonomy at the same time. Whether you're looking to offset your mortgage, create space for multigenerational living, or provide private accommodations for guests, this flexible space adds exceptional value. A welcoming wraparound front porch sets the tone before you step inside to a gracious foyer. The front living room is nothing short of spectacular, showcasing rich original woodwork, built-in bookcases, and a beautiful fireplace now converted to a gas log. The charm is reminiscent of a grand Mackinac Island cottage, with craftsmanship and warmth that simply can't be replicated. The updated kitchen blends historic character with modern convenience, featuring an oversized peninsula overlooking the dining room, abundant cabinetry, generously-sized quartz countertops, and a layout designed for those who truly enjoy cooking. The spacious dining room easily accommodates both formal dinners and casual gatherings, while an additional living room provides even more flexibility for relaxing or entertaining. Near the side entrance, a cozy home office offers an ideal setup for anyone working remotely or meeting with clients, providing separation from the home's main living areas while maintaining privacy. Completing the first floor is a charming full bathroom featuring a classic clawfoot tub, original tile, and beautiful built-in cabinetry. Upstairs, you'll find three spacious bedrooms and two full bathrooms. Closet space is surprisingly generous for a historic home, and the primary suite is a true retreat with built-in bookshelves and a whimsical sitting nook tucked inside the home's turret, a storybook space that feels like it was designed for dreaming. Outside, the fully fenced backyard is filled with inviting spaces to gather, relax, and entertain. A gate provides direct access to the covered three-car carport, while a two-car garage accessed from the alley offers even more parking and storage. If you're drawn to homes with authentic craftsmanship, artistic architectural details, and a personality all their own, 721 Seymour is a rare opportunity to own a piece of Lansing history while enjoying the comfort and flexibility of modern living....
