What is a home? Sure, it’s a place you live, but it’s so much more than just a structure or roof over our head. It’s a sanctuary; place that evokes emotion every time you see it, whether it’s the first time or the millionth time. What you love about your home may be different than what your neighbor loves about theirs. Maybe you look for charm, for space, location or something else. It’s amazing how different homes are in towns and cities across the country, and really, the world. I think one of the best ways to get to know a place is just driving around looking at the homes. They tell a story – the story of the past, the present and the future.

If charm and history near the top of your home “must haves,” you’d love the towns of Petoskey and Harbor Springs, Michigan. Two towns that date back to the 1870’s and 1880’s, that are both perfectly situated in Northern Michigan, right along the beautiful shores of Lake Michigan. Every home is gorgeous on it’s own, but lined one after another, the Victorian, Cape Cod and coastal stunners really paint a picture of tranquility. It’s peaceful, colorful and the epitome of Pure Michigan.
