DescriptionShow

Location! Location! You can have it all! Set on over 2 acres. Minutes from the Huron River, this sprawling ranch style home offers a rare blend of natural beauty, thoughtful stewardship, and unbeatable convenience. Just minutes from parks, downtown Ann Arbor, the University of Michigan, WCC, downtown Ypsilanti, and EMU. Lovingly cared for by two owners in its nearly 100-year history, this special property is ready to welcome its third. Pride of ownership shows throughout the home and its incredible grounds, designed with care for the surrounding landscape. Rain barrels and rain gardens, native plantings, winding walking paths, open spaces for recreation or archery, and garden beds ready to produce your own food and flowers create a vibrant, ever-changing outdoor experience. Mature woods provide privacy and a natural habitat, while seasonal blooms, fruiting trees, berries, melons, garlic, and more promise abundant harvests year after year. Inside, timeless character shines through gleaming wood floors, abundant built-ins, and stately architectural details, including old-world-style columns. The welcoming foyer opens to a spacious living room with a large picture window and a natural fireplace flanked by custom shelving. A formal dining room with a charming corner china cabinet offers lovely views of the grounds; the cheerful sunroom at the back of the home invites quiet mornings or cozy evenings. The bright kitchen provides generous cabinet and counter space, plus direct backyard access for easy indoor-outdoor living. The primary suite, part of the original home, is tucked away and features a front bedroom with a bay window and private full bath, along with a sunlit den or office that could serve as an additional bedroom. On the east side, accessed via a corridor with built-in storage, two more generously sized bedrooms share a pleasant bath. The partially finished basement offers a bright, spacious recreation or family room with high ceilings, plus a laundry area and ample storage. An additional unfinished section includes a full bathroom, utilities, and exterior cellar access. Upstairs, the attic has its own staircase and hardwood floors, presenting exciting potential for future finished living space. A detached 2 car garage with a finished upper level, workbench, and storage adds functionality. Recent updates: roof (2023), exterior paint (2024), and windows (2005). Enjoy the serenity of country living surrounded by nature, without sacrificing proximity to shopping, dining, and major highways. This truly one-of-a-kind property brings together history, character, and lifestyle. Ann Arbor Twp. taxes, Burns Park Elementary, Tappan, and Huron High School.
