Queen Mary's Ruby Cluster Earrings. King George V gave these earrings to his wife in 1926 for her 59th birthday
This sprawling 1930 home in Fennville, Michigan, only has 3bds and 1.5ba, just like an average home, but it's listed for $2.9M. So, what is taking up all the space in this huge home?
Oh, well for one thing, it's got to be this great room. Most of the letters fell off the blocks on the balcony, but it says "Showstoppers." There's a wood burning stove in the corner, and according to the floorplan, this is a living room.
Here're spiral stairs going up to a mezzanine and there's a carpeted area. The floorplan says that this is a sitting room.
It looks like there was hot tub here, but all that's left is the cover.
Across from the hot tub is a shower and maybe that's a sauna behind the door.
This is the half bath.
Well, the kitchen needs a remodel. You could probably get away with painting the cabinets and changing the hardware, but the walls. I wonder if you could open up that brick fireplace and if the cabinet is going around it and it's intact. Wouldn't it make a great pizza oven?
Back to the Showstopper room, the mezzanine has a very large space with a terrace.
According to the 2nd level floorplan this is a sitting room.
There are definitely bedrooms above the hot tub room.
And, these are bedrooms #'s 2 & 3.
The full bath is on the 2nd level.
The primary bedroom. It has a little sink in the corner, b/c the only full bath is upstairs.
This room has a bar. At least that's what I think it is. It also looks like it says "Showstoppers" on the fireplace, too, and it's the family room.
Here's the dining room. According to the floorplan, that's the back of the fireplace that's in the kitchen.
And, the sunroom.
On the side of the house is a 2 car garage.
The property is 5.2 wooded acres on Lake Michigan.
There's also a cute little log cabin on the property.
I don't know how far Lake Michigan is from the house, but this is a picture of it.

“Why do i feel like the brf are running out of wedding tiaras lol. Like no one repeats these tiaras normally and they don't have a huge tiara collection in the first place and even from the collection only a select few tiaras are wedding appropriate. Also, wondering if the Queen Mary's bandeau is forever going to be locked away in the vaults forever now? Like would any bride want to be associated with Meghan and that tiara anymore?” - Submitted by Anonymous
