Résidence Unifamiliale à Ann Arbor

Ann Arbor Schools, township taxes. Here’s a true five acre estate property with European style, dramatic both inside and out. These sprawling grounds offer surprising grandeur that is felt the moment you arrive. Only three miles(!) to Ann Arbor city limits, this is a delightful forested haven on a high and dry moraine elevation. Talk about Fung Shui? You feel it here. That’s because not everyone wants to live in a cookie cutter sub-division. Want quiet? Come hear our songbirds- a chorus broken only by a random passenger plane flying by. There’s almost NO road noise at all. Want seclusion? How about backing up to a fifty acre farm at the very end of a private drive of only four houses. It’s a tenth of a mile to the county designated scenic road- good for an invigorating walk to fetch the mail. You see only nature through the windows here- no neighbors in view. And no overhead utility lines . The grounds are rolling gardens that lead to delightful clearings, walking paths and game trails. You will find the greater property filled with a thousand mature forest trees of every variety. This property is nothing less than a private park- not unlike those sometimes found in a bygone era of rolling English countryside. Oh, and the house, ah yes, the house- THREE levels of magical area with sanctuary for everyone. It’s 2200 square feet that feels more like 3000. There’s no wasted space, just an effortless sequence of places to be. Soaring ceilings are a master stroke, as much as twenty-two feet high, with both upper ensuite bedrooms rising up fourteen spacious feet. The kitchen houses a huge twelve foot breakfast counter with an extra bar sink and room for five stools. The custom cherrywood cabinets are a marvel to behold, craftsmanship at its finest. There’s both a butler’s pantry AND a kitchen pantry to boot. The great room is, well, great, offering that delightful ascending ceiling with skylights taking you right into the clouds above.
