5 Bedroom House in Center Avenue Historic District, Bay City

“Blue on 5th” looks like a little jewel box that, when opened up, reveals amazing treasures and unexpected capacity – it sleeps 15. Built in 1900 and part of Bay City’s Center Avenue Historic District, this comfortable home has everything you need for a delightful stay – and is pet-friendly to boot. You’ll love the well-equipped kitchen, multiple TVs, firepit, board games, grill, workspace, fast Wi-Fi, copious built-in storage spaces, and many special touches. Walk to Midtown/Downtown Bay City.
You’ll love staying in this charming piece of history. Built in an era of eclectic architectural styles, Blue on 5th boasts numerous original, turn-of-the-century details – yet it is completely modern with every convenience.
After conveniently entering this vintage charmer through the front door via keyless entry and stepping into the majestic foyer with its period wood paneling, walk straight ahead to the cozily contained living room. Relax on super-comfortable seating and converse. Watch your favorite shows and sports on the 55” ROKU TV using your own streaming-subscription log-ins. Or choose from a selection of fun board games. You can close the elegant French doors to the dining area for privacy or noise control, and a bathroom is conveniently adjacent.
You’ll find everything you need to prep and cook your favorite delicious recipes in the large, well-equipped kitchen with its granite countertops. Take advantage of the huge refrigerator, microwave, and chef-preferred gas stove/oven, as well as the toaster and blender. You’ll find all the cookware, ovenware, dishware, flatware, glassware, and utensils you need. Even your pup gets kitchen consideration, with a canister for doggy treats. Grab your morning hot coffee from the convenient coffee bar, with all the supplies you need, and sip your beverage at the adorable eat-in area at the peninsula – also a great spot to refuel with a quick snack. Another delightful spot for sipping is on the front porch, where you can watch the world go by.
Dine steps away in the adjacent elegant formal dining room at the large table for up 6; two chairs by the window can be pulled up to stretch table capacity to eight – or kept in their cozy nook for hot beverages, cocktails, snacks, or just a bit of conversation.
Or dine al fresco in the large, private, fenced backyard in the warmer months, where you can also grill on the propane grill or gather the group around the firepit in comfy Adirondack chairs.
After a full day of exploring all that Bay City has to offer – or just hanging out with the group at Blue on 5th, head for restful sleep in your selection of four bedrooms and additional sleeping spaces.
Downstairs, you’ll find a light-flooded king bedroom with sumptuous linens and charming setting highlighted by an original vintage decorative fireplace. You’ll have a lovely street view through the huge picture window (equipped with blinds, of course, to block out morning light while you’re sleeping). Enjoy the 37” ROKU TV, bedside tables with lamps, and a large, mirrored dresser for storage.
Before heading upstairs to view the bedrooms there, check out the deluxe doggo haven in the under-stairs nook. Your pup will feel like royalty in this exquisite setting.
Ascend the stunning wood staircase, noting the beautiful stained-glass window on the first landing; then discover a queen bedroom with storage, bedside tables with lamps, mirror, ceiling fan, 42” ROKU TV, and doggy bed. The carpeting will feel good to your toes on chilly mornings.
The second upstairs bedroom, where the double bed is surrounded on three sides by nearly floor-to-ceiling vintage windows, provides a wall full of built-in storage in which one cubby stores two queen-size air mattresses to accommodate additional sleeping needs. The room’s futon can also be used for sleeping. Mirrors and bedside tables with lamps round out the experience.
You’ll love the warm feel of the completely wood-paneled third upstairs queen bedroom, with a mirrored dresser and abundant built-in storage.
Additional upstairs sleeping space is available in a sunny room with two futons for sleeping, and a giant plush beanbag to relax on (Note: This room is accessed through another bedroom). Should you have remote-work needs, this room also provides a workspace with desk surface, 42” ROKU TV, chargers, and tons of built-in storage (you’ll find extra pillows and linens in some of the cubbies).
Refresh and rejuvenate in Blue on 5th’s two bathrooms, both with hair dryers and bathroom essentials. The downstairs bathroom provides a large walk-in shower, while the upstairs bath offers a fabulous clawfoot tub with shower, right in line with the home’s period décor.
You’ll love the convenience of the washer and dryer in the basement.
