Description
For over 150 years, this stately home has stood sentinel overlooking the gorgeous 17+ acre estate and peaceful country surroundings. There’s truly no other home in the area that boasts the space, style, and elegance found here. Expanded and updated over time, you’ll find the perfect blend of classic and premium modern features. The extraordinary kitchen is the heart of the home, boasting a massive custom island that serves as a gathering place, pro-grade appliances, a large walk-in pantry, expansive countertops, classic ”keeping room” fireplace, and heated floors that extend into the adjacent family room. The desirable and versatile floor plan features high ceilings and large gathering rooms, balanced by intimate private spaces, including two graceful and handsome entry-level… …studies/libraries, each with either a cozy fireplace or wood stove. With a deck, porch, or patio on each side of the house, there are numerous opportunities to transition from indoor living to gorgeous outdoor spaces. The massive rear deck and patio are surrounded by a gracefully positioned landscape, providing a great area for both large groups and private relaxation. 5 bedrooms in the main house, including a luxurious owner’s suite with a massive adjacent dressing room and private deck. The beautiful, renovated apartment above the attached garage offers a full kitchen and bath, two additional bedrooms, and ample living/dining space – perfect extra accommodations for a large family, or great for long or short-term guests, or multi-generational living. The groomed parcel boasts massive stately oaks that predate the home, and numerous other shade, ornamental, and fruit trees. Thoughtfully set up and ready for horses or other livestock with fenced paddocks and an equestrian run-in barn. An ideal, quiet country oasis bordered in the rear by county nature preserve land, yet only ~5 minutes from the freeway for everyday convenience and easy commuting. ~15 minutes from UofM Hospital and Central Campus. Dexter School District. A truly unique and exquisite homestead!
