DescriptionShow

Classic all-brick craftsman charm awaits on a quiet, tree-lined street in the Old West Side, just a short walk from downtown Ann Arbor. A screened front porch sets the tone before you even step inside, where a striking entry door and a charming accent window offer an immediate glimpse of the character found throughout this special home. Hardwood floors run underfoot from room to room, connecting graceful arched entryways that give the main level a warm, cohesive flow. The living room centers around a classic wood-burning brick fireplace framed by beautiful trim details — the kind of craftsmanship rarely found in newer construction. It opens directly into the dining room through another elegant archway, making the layout feel both open and connected. The kitchen has been thoughtfully updated with crisp white cabinets and granite counters, and an oversized window keeps the space bright throughout the day. Step through the half-lite exterior door down to a small, intimate patio— a perfect spot for morning coffee — with the detached garage just beyond. Upstairs, three well-appointed bedrooms share a full bath featuring heated floors and a tiled shower/tub combo, delivering a touch of everyday comfort you'll appreciate on chilly Michigan mornings. Generously sized closets throughout the home offer storage space that is a true rarity for a property of this era and style. The partially finished basement adds meaningful flexible space, whether you envision a recreation room, play area, or home office, and includes a dedicated laundry area with utility sink. A newer roof (2016) and water heater (2020) provide added peace of mind. This is a rare opportunity to own a home full of timeless character in one of Ann Arbor's most cherished neighborhoods.
