Just picture it...small town, snow falling, long lost love waiting on the porch, oh, and there's a dog. It's pretty much the plot of just about every Hallmark movie we love, but we found a historic home that can make it a reality.

The historic "Heather House" in Marine City, Michigan is on the market currently for $749,000. The majestic 3-story Victorian Mansion was built in 1885 and then converted into a bed and breakfast in 1991. Perfectly located just north of downtown Marine city just along the St Clair River, its picturesque design is truly something straight out of a movie.
