Hewitt Onion Tower Victorian charm in heart of Marquette- Cozy Fireplace

This Victorian Queen Anne Home is in the heart of Marquette just steps from Third street corridor with restaurants, breweries, and shops. The home is 5 blocks to the sandy beaches of lake superior. Gather your friends or family for a getaway that has it all in minutes from the home. You can enjoy a relaxing afternoon on the huge front porch or grilling on the back deck after an action packed day. Spend your days kayaking or paddle boarding, mountian biking , skiing, relaxing at the beach, shopping and dining the downtown areas. It is a half mile from Northern Michigan University and 4 miles to Marquette Mountain ski hill. It is 2 miles to the Noquemenon North trail network and 4 miles to the Noqumenon South trail network. It is one mile to UP Health systems regional hospital.
This historical home was built in 1898 and designed by D. Fred Charlton for Louis Vierling. Great care has been taken to preserve this home beautifully. The absolutely amazing 3400 sq ft home. The second level has 3 bedrooms, 1 room for an office or extra space and a full bath. The main floor has a full bath with soaking tub, 2 dining rooms, 2 living rooms, a study or game room and large modern kitchen. The ground level ( or walk out basement level) has a bedroom, family room, laundry room, full bathroom and shared fitness/ sauna gym with full bathroom. The back of the home has 2 rentable apartments with their own separate entrance from the back. The apartments can be rented separately to accommodate 5 more guests. Please ask if you would like to reserve all 3 rentals in the home. (2024 Note: Currently the attic apartment is being rented long term)
The original Victorian era details are breathtaking and include... 3 stained glass windows & 2 curved windows, ornate decorative ceiling adornments & plaster friezes, 2 fireplaces, 3 sets of working 8' pocket doors, all original woodwork including walnut/maple floors, 10' baseboards and many original custom built-ins. It still holds all the charm and character that was intended, however it also has been updated with a gorgeous new kitchen. It has antique rod iron fencing around the 50 year old perennial garden.
The home has recently been remodeled in 2021 with new tiling in upstairs bathroom, fresh white paint and mural in kitchen, new functioning fireplace, new fire pit area out back, new fitness room with treadmill, peloton bike and new sauna. The new fire pit, fitness room and sauna are all shared spaces with the apartment guests. In 2024 we plan to install level 2 EV chargers CCS shaped for most Electric vehicles. If you have a Tesla a Tesla to CCS adapter can be used. They should be installed by the summer season. Marquette has several locations to charge electric vehicles as well. Don’t hesitate to message us if you have any questions. *****Please note there is no Hot tub. For some reason when we turn on the sauna feature it seems to add hot tub as well please note there is a claw foot tub and a sauna but not a hot tub. ***

This charming Victorian house was a joy to stay in with our 2 families. The home is full of character & well taken care of. The location is excellent—within walking distance to breweries, coffee shops, and more. The owners were very attentive, even clearing the driveway quickly during a blizzard. I would highly recommend this house to anyone looking for charm, comfort, and a great location.

The Hewitt Onion Tower home is a spacious home that brings in the charm of Marquette while providing the luxuries of a 5-star hotel! There is plenty of room for family and guest alike to relax and be comfortable. The bathrooms are modern; the beds are comfortable and that bathtub is perfect for a warm soak after a long, cold day exploring all that winter in Marquette has to offer. We stayed for the December NMU Wildcat Graduation Weekend, and it was a perfect location to celebrate our daughter's graduation with close proximity to bars and restaurants, as well as the University.
