Property Description
Step into a piece of Bay City history at 814 N. Monroe Street, originally built around 1876 as the George H. and Elva Shearer House. Designed in the distinctive Second Empire style, this historic property reflects the craftsmanship and elegance of Bay Cityâ??s lumber-era past. The Shearer family was prominent in the local lumber, real estate, insurance, and banking communities, making this home a meaningful part of the cityâ??s story. Today, the property offers a unique mixed-use layout with residential and commercial possibilities. The main level, formerly an attorneyâ??s office known as the Bay Justice Building, showcases the home's historic character with two fireplaces, beautiful original woodwork, a wet bar, and a half bathroom. The space offers flexibility for office, business, entertaining, or additional living uses. The second level features condo-style living with 2 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, kitchen, and a spacious living area with two beautiful stone fireplaces. One bathroom includes a jetted garden tub, walk in shower, and a dedicated laundry area. As you go through the living room you will find stairs to the third floor. The third level provides additional storage, another half bathroom, and patio doors leading to a private deck. From there, stairs lead to the rooftop deck, offering an exceptional view of downtown Bay City, a rare feature that truly sets this property apart. Imagine the view of the fireworks!! Outside there is a beautiful front porch, brick designed parking spaces, a modest easy to maintain yard with a deck complete with chiminea, a privacy fence, and a storage shed to keep your lawn equipment in. From its original architectural details to its modern versatility and rooftop views, 814 N. Monroe Street is more than a property. It is a piece of Bay City history ready for its next chapter. Truly a one of a kind opportunity.
