About this home
A Piece of History. A Legacy Waiting for Its Next Chapter! Step back in time and step into an opportunity to own a piece of Howell history! Dating back to before 1900, this historic farmhouse carries the legacy of the Eager farming family, descendants of the Bull family, with generations of agricultural roots tracing back to early New York settlers. Even Eager Road carries the family's name! Set in a super charming country setting, the property is surrounded by beautiful mature trees, with a large neighboring barn adding to its timeless farmhouse appeal. It's a setting that feels like a step back in time! Now, this landmark is ready for someone with vision to pick up the baton and bring its original charm back to life. Renovation is underway, with much of the home taken down to the studs, offering a blank canvas for its next caretaker. One primary main-floor bedroom and a full bath are currently livable. Major improvements include new electrical wiring and plumbing, a working propane furnace (approximately 10 years old), a new well pump, water heater (approximately 6 years old), and a 12-year-old roof. Asbestos removal has been completed. Propane service is provided through a rented Corrigan tank. No central air conditioning. Septic tank pumped approximately 18 months ago with no known issues. Property also includes a chicken coop and a detached, concrete-built one-car garage. More than a renovation, this is a chance to preserve a legacy! Bring your creativity, craftsmanship, and appreciation for history to write the next chapter of this special Howell-area homestead. Some homes are built; others have stories worth saving. Here's your opportunity to do both! Come Fall in Love with History! SHOWING REQUIREMENT: A signed Hold Harmless / Release of Liability form must be received prior to anyone entering the property. No exceptions.

How it compares in Howell
Over the last 90 days, 259 homes sold in Howell for a median of $386,950, about $184 per square foot, and the typical one went under contract in 11 days. This home is listed at $99,777, or $38 per square foot, 79% below the city median, and has been on the market 5 days. Size, condition, updates and the exact street all move the number, so treat this as context. See recent Howell sales or ask us for the comparable sales on this one.
Property taxes for a new owner
The current owner pays about $2,968 a year. A buyer who lives here would pay about $3,049 a year once the taxable value resets after the sale, at the 2025 homestead rate of 23.49 mills for Oceola Twp and Howell schools, plus the 1% administration fee. Michigan resets a home's taxable value the year after it sells, so the seller's bill isn't a good number to budget with. See the math.
