Property Description

The historic Hovey House, located at 318 Houston Avenue, is a beautifully restored 1889 Queen Anne Victorian, just one block off Muskegon Avenue and a short walk to Muskegon Lake and downtown attractions. Built by Horatio Hovey—co-founder of the Hovey & McCracken lumber company, President of Muskegon Savings Bank, and husband to Nelly Hovey—this iconic home reflects the craftsmanship and prosperity of Muskegon's lumber era. Hovey was a civic leader whose influence helped shape the city's growth, and his residence stands as a tribute to Muskegon's past and future. Designated as a Michigan Historic Site, the property has been meticulously restored with incredible attention to detail, showcasing original pocket doors, intricate trim work, and the timeless charm of Victorian architecture. Zoned B-1, the building offers flexible use for professional office space, residential living, or investment purposes. Presently, the property is used as a combination of professional office space and a private apartment. In the past, it has also served as a single-family home and a restaurant, showcasing its versatility. The main floor features elegant shared office and conference room space, while the lower level includes a full kitchen and two bathrooms with a private rear entranceideal for subleasing or hosting events. The third floor offers a spacious 2-bedroom, 1-bath apartment with in-unit laundry, providing additional rental income or a comfortable on-site residence. With income potential exceeding $100,000 annually and 24 private parking spaces, the Hovey House offers a rare blend of historic character and commercial opportunity in the heart of a thriving lakeshore city.
