Step into a one-of-a-kind property rich with character and history ? the former East End Branch of the Superior Public Library, originally built in 1917 and thoughtfully converted into a private residence in 1992.

A stately front entrance featuring paneled double doors beneath a segmental-arched transom, flanked by wood pilasters and topped by a stone-carved parapet. Inside, the home offers main level living with a bedroom, full bathroom, and a functional kitchen. Enjoy the beauty and bounty of this property, featuring stunning magnolia trees, a mature apple tree, and three productive pear trees. The yard also offers an abundance of rhubarb and grapevines?including delicious Concord grapes?perfect for gardening enthusiasts or anyone who enjoys fresh, homegrown produce. While preserving many original elements, the residence provides the comfort and flexibility of modern living within a truly historical setting.
