About 508 S University Avenue
Welcome to 508 S University—an extraordinary all-brick residence in the heart of downtown Mount Pleasant, offering a rare blend of character, modern updates, and exceptional flexibility. Spanning over 3,300 square feet across three finished levels, this home features 4 to 5 bedrooms and 3.5 baths, thoughtfully designed to support a variety of living styles. From the moment you enter the grand front foyer, you’ll appreciate the craftsmanship, scale, and architectural detail that set this home apart. The main level offers both formal and functional living spaces, and the home includes a dedicated dining room, office, and additional flex areas ideal for remote work, hobbies, or entertaining. The kitchen and bathrooms have been tastefully updated to provide a clean, modern feel with the conveniences today’s buyers expect. There are two separate staircases that lead to the second floor and one indoor and one outdoor that leads to the third floor that creates natural separation and privacy between levels, enhancing both flow and functionality. The third floor stands out as a unique and highly versatile space, complete with a kitchenette and private exterior access. It can serve as a guest retreat, extended living space, or even a fun and inviting family area for movie nights, games, and gathering, with potential for supplemental rental income where permitted. A separate outdoor entrance to the basement adds even more flexibility, offering abundant storage, workshop potential, or future finishing opportunities. The all-brick exterior has been recently tuckpointed, reinforcing both structural integrity and curb appeal while maintaining the home’s classic appearance. With its rare combination of size, layout flexibility, and walkable downtown location near Central Michigan University, this home is uniquely suited for those seeking space to live, work, and grow within a distinctive setting. Homes with this level of character, space, and adaptability seldom come to market.
