Built in 1962, this Victorian Gothic home has 5,774 sq. ft. worth of history to resurrect. The home is sold as is, according to its Zillow listing, but has also seen recent upgrades to accommodate for adult foster care residents. The house was clearly used for commercial purposes recently.

The home sold for $300,000 in 2001, so to be on the market once again at $95,900 does say quite a bit about how the home has suffered over the years. Still, those with the budget and know-how to invest in the spirit of this home will come away with something truly special.

The home sits diagonally from the Saginaw Art Museum, is close to downtown and a comfortable distance from I-675 and I-75. Location is one of the perks of the historic home as it isn't tucked away in the suburbs while sitting in a comfortable space on N Michigan Ave along the Saginaw River.

The home hasn't been listed long, and with growing popularity on its listing, it could sell fast, especially considering its low price.
