Hot Property: Frankfort Fabuloso
Your harbor-town retreat awaits.
May 20, 2008 Jeff Smith
The year that President Abraham Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation, 1863, builders were pounding the first spikes into the beams of this Italianate beauty in Frankfort. Previous owners performed an immaculate restoration, and current owners kept things right, helped along by the man of the house, who is a Civil War re-enactor and storyteller. The most recent owners ran a B&B here; you could do likewise, or just make it your private fortress of Northern bliss. Splendid gardens and more than 100 Civil War artifacts, which, along with furniture, all come with the deal. Oh yeah, so does a one-bedroom guest house with fireplace. Five bedrooms; 3.5 baths; 2,916 square feet. Just four blocks to that dazzling Frankfort beach. $799,000. MLS: 1649137. Sandy Jackson, C21 Sleeping Bear--Frankfort, 231-352-7123,
