About this home
Welcome to this beautifully restored and fully remodeled 1890 Classic Italianate home in the City of Tecumseh Historic District, just a few blocks from Tecumseh’s vibrant downtown. Known as the Margaret L. Waldron Kidman “Yarn House,” the property once operated for 40 years as a local yarn and needlecraft business serving area knitters beginning in the late 1940s. It has also been showcased in the City of Tecumseh’s historic Prominade of the Past home tours. Purchased in late 2019, the home has been lovingly restored and remodeled by the current owner. The exterior was updated with vinyl siding and a new roof, while the two main front stained-glass windows were preserved and all other windows were replaced with Pella windows. A gourmet Burdick & Assoc. designer kitchen was added, expanding the home’s square footage; featuring white quartz countertops, a separate coffee bar, an island, and stainless-steel GE Profile appliances. The home’s original architectural character remains intact, including front parlor rooms and a beautiful formal dining room that opens into the kitchen. The first-floor en-suite is accessed through two massive double arched doors, creating a sense of spacious grandeur through enfilades—an architectural feature derived from European palaces in which interconnected rooms align on a straight axis to provide sweeping views when doors are open. The en-suite bath is accessible through the dinning room as well. Upstairs, the spacious bedrooms offer ample walk-in closet space and are interconnected by traditional connecting doors. In 1800s homes, such doors improved airflow, cross-ventilation, and heat circulation before modern heating and air conditioning; they can also be locked for privacy, all rooms have hall access doors as well. The home includes two baths with fully tiled walk-in showers, and the second-floor bath also features a modern spa-style soaking tub and a large tiled walk-in shower. At the rear of the home, a first-floor walk-in mudroom entrance connects to the attached garage, along with a charming private workroom ideal for crafts. The second floor includes a spacious laundry room and a separate exercise room accessible by the rear stairwell. Off the kitchen, a side porch opens to a European-inspired private courtyard. This home beautifully blends modern convenience with historic architectural style. In the past, the house has been occasionally leased VRBO and described by its occupants as: “The home is situated in a beautiful historic neighborhood in Tecumseh that looks like it came straight out of a Norman Rockwell painting. The tree-lined streets, classic architecture, and small-town atmosphere made it a pleasure just to take a walk around the neighborhood. If you are you are looking for a peaceful, charming place to stay, I highly recommend this property.”...
