Wouldn't you be better off buying some land for the $50K, and spending the $200K on having a new home built? With everyone scrambling for work these days, and the state of Michigan's economy, I would imagine you could easily get a new home constructed for well under $100/sf. Everything new, energy-efficient, and under warranty.
Have you considered that option, or are you really in love with this house?
