36 Center Street, Douglas, MI 49406

Step out for coffee, explore a gallery, meet friends for dinner-then return to your own peaceful retreat above a beautifully maintained courtyard. An unexpected oasis in the heart of downtown Douglas, just steps to Wade's Bayou and Douglas Marina and less than a mile to Lake Michigan itself. This distinctive offering brings together Units 5 and 8 at The People's Store of Douglas Condominiums. With close to 2,000 square feet of living space, two bedrooms, and two and one-half baths, the residences pair historic character with beautifully considered interiors and remarkable versatility. Each has its own separate entrance, while a stunning shared lanai connects the two, overlooking an impeccably maintained courtyard. Thoughtfully developed and designed in 2007 by seller Robin Bauer/ Carlton T Ashbourne LLC, the residences reflect the creative vision behind the transformation of the entire building. In Unit 5, original exposed brick, cherrywood floors, two skylights, and a wood/gas fireplace create a warm, inviting atmosphere. The beautifully appointed kitchen features bamboo cabinetry, granite countertops, a waterfall island, Sub-Zero refrigeration, cook top and microwave, a wine cooler, and a pantry, complemented by banquette dining. The primary suite includes a walk-in closet with built-in drawers and a luxurious bath with a whirlpool tub, separate marble shower, and towel warmer. Two sections of 'Nanawall' pivot doors open to the stone-floored lanai, extending the living space outdoors. A screened area, motorized Phantom Screens and a retractable awning, installed electric heater create an inviting setting for morning coffee, leisurely dining, and quiet evenings above the courtyard-a peaceful retreat amid the pleasures of downtown. Across the lanai, Unit 8 offers a loft bedroom, its own kitchen, living and dining areas, a wood-burning fireplace, and a full bath with a walk-in shower. With its independent entrance, this adaptable space is ideal for welcoming guests, creating an office or studio, or simply enjoying additional room to unwind. A deeded parking space and basement storage add everyday convenience, while galleries, boutiques, and restaurants await just beyond the courtyard. This exceptional offering brings together the privacy of two individual retreats, the warmth of a thoughtfully designed home, and the delight of living in the heart of Douglas. With the exception of some treasured art and furniture pieces, most furnishings are negotiable.
