A Night To Remember Bed & Breakfast - Lexington, Michigan

Located on the southern thoroughfare to town, this stately Victorian with its eye-catching surrounding landscaping attracts the attention of residents and visitors alike. Featuring a pond and landscape accents, the sculpted 1.375 acre yard beckons to B&B guests and customers alike to roam about after shopping or while savoring an ice cream cone.  Part of a four building complex with three operating businesses, the home contains a four (4) Guest Room B&B and a portion of the retail business.  Another retail building (former garage) is located at the back of the parking lot, adjacent to the main building. While guests enter through the front door, retail customers find the B&B’s retail shop via the side entrance off the parking lot.  Also on the first floor are two guest rooms - one with a huge stone fireplace and the other with its own deck.  As with all the guest rooms, each has its own unique theme and bathroom. A guest commons area for relaxing and dining completes the final portion of the main floor of the B&B.  This latter area features an all-new “shabby chic” décor, a graceful chandelier, fireplace and high, glass windows of the Victorian’s original late 1800's creation.  From the entryway a graceful, curved wooden banister / staircase leads to the second floor hallway and two more guest rooms, one at the front of the B&B, and the other at the rear.  Owners Quarters (OQ) are also located on this second level, with a large master bedroom with private bathroom (the fifth BR/bath combination of the home), plus a kitchen and laundry area that the current owners make available to guests.  While listed square footage of the home is about 3850, this does not include the unfinished third level.  Here a large area provides options for another Guest Room (loft suite), an expanded OQ (which also frees up the OQ-BR for another GR on the second floor), another guest commons area, storage or … use imagination!
This B&B and the business reside on a 5/8 acre parcel of land, which includes a vacant corner lot, and are available for $339,000.  The adjacent ¾ acre parcel of land is also available as an add-on to the B&B, and includes two additional buildings – one being an ice cream shop business, the other a multi-purpose back barn – making a total package of 1.375 acres and three businesses for $539,000.
