Pentwater House | 1869 House - Central, Historic, and ADA Compliant

6 Bedroom House in Pentwater

Our family has been in Pentwater for over 100 years, and we have renovated this historic home (built 1869) right in the heart of Pentwater with families and special needs in mind, and with an eye towards modern functionality and historical charm. As for location, it is a 1/2 block from downtown and an easy stroll to the beach (or take the back route up the dunes to Mt Baldy). Its deep setback and large rear deck ensure tranquility and privacy even though it is right in the heart of the village.
There is ample off-street parking off the alleyway in addition to parking on the street. The front porch is the place to catch the morning sun with your coffee. The back deck has space for everyone for private evenings outdoors (including the grill). The back yard has the fire pit for s'mores at night as well as an extra patio. The side yard can be used for boccie ball.
As for the interior, the house has SIX bedrooms (all conforming - no converted closets), so there is room for multiple generations - two down and four up. There are also a few pull out sofas if there are more grand kids than you can count. There is a full bath on each level.
Importantly, we have renovated the house with grandparents and anyone with special needs in mind. The entire first floor is fully ADA compliant - meeting all commercial code requirements. A ramp leads from the handicap parking in the back to the deck. The transition from deck to house is almost seamless. There are no floor height differentials on the entire first floor (two bedrooms). The bedrooms have wide doors, and the master bedroom is en suite, . The bathroom has a 5'x5' fully tiled roll-in shower area. The kitchen has been designed with wheelchairs in mind: roll-under stove, roll-under sink, wall-mounted stove, wheel chair friendly seating, and ADA-compliant appliances throughout.
The main floor layout is an open living plan, with the kitchen, dining, and living rooms flowing into each other and right out onto the rear deck through the French doors. The 65" TV provides plenty of viewing for everyone, and a second TV in the upstairs sitting room is perfect for sequestering the kids.
LINENS: We provide comforters, blankets, pillows, and towels. However, you provide your bed linens. We are working to set up a linen service ($150), so please contact us for availability if interested.

Summary: We had a wonderful stay in this lovely and spacious home. The host was very accommodating and the welcome gifts from local shops were a nice touch. The home's location is ideal for those who enjoy walking to the beach, shops and just admiring the beautiful neighborhoods. We enjoyed coffee on the porch in the morning sunshine, meals on the large deck and evening campfires in the backyard. We are thankful for the ways this home enhanced our Pentwater Vacation.
