About This Home
Brookby, formerly the Blodgett Estate and now part of Aquinas College, serves as the residence of the college president and a venue for distinguished guests. This historic 12,000 sq. ft. estate hosts weddings, graduation parties, recitals, and presentations with ease. The grand manor features 8 bedrooms, 10 bathrooms, a stunning hall, two full kitchens, and sits on over 5 acres of lush, landscaped grounds with private lakefront access. Two additional buildings are included (see complete floor plans of manor & ground survey). Suggested uses include: private residence, senior living with inter-generational collab through Aquinas, B&B, event venue, or an additional building site. Any change of use is subject to approval by the City of EGR and must comply with all appl. zoning regulations. Buyers are responsible for verifying permitted uses under the current zoning designation with the City. Prospective buyers must provide proof of funds or a mortgage pre-qualification letter prior to scheduling a property tour. Brookby is a rare gem-rich in history, elegance, and endless potential. There's so much to experience, it truly demands a grand tour.
