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 collaboration through Aquinas, B&B, event venue, or an additional building site. Brookby is a rare gem—rich in history, elegance, and endless potential. There's so much to experience, it truly demands a grand tour.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
