Italianate home on US Route 12 in Michigan

On the way back from Detroit I traveled down US Route 12, which was once an Indian trail. In 2001 it was designated a Michigan Historic Heritage Route.

In unincorporated Somerset Township in Hillsdale County near the Ohio border I came across a stately Italianate home.

Don't you just want to pull into the driveway? In this part of the Great Lakes State Route 12 is known as Chicago Road.

Here's a closer look at that gem. Patriots live inside--they have two US flags flying out front.
