1128 Michigan Avenue

Light-filled and brimming with historic charm, this well maintained 1910 home in Burns Park - one of Ann Arbor's most walkable neighborhoods - has been owned by an architect/academic for over 50 years and offers a blend of period detail and modern comfort. Inviting curb appeal begins with the front porch - ideal for morning coffee, chats with neighbors, or simply watching the world go by in this biker's paradise. Less than a mile from Michigan Stadium and downtown Ann Arbor, you'll be a short walk from UM's academic and sports campuses, and steps from Argus Farm Stop Café and Market, the AATA 5 bus, Burns Park Elementary School, and Eberbach Cultural Arts Building. Inside, flexible living abounds with a front living room featuring an original pocket door (easily converted into a fourth bedroom), a rear kitchen and dining room with bay window. An integrated family-room/office addition enjoys a 12' wide sliding door opening to a large deck, perfect for casual entertaining or future kitchen expansion. A convenient half bath completes the main level. Warm wood floors and original moldings and woodwork are found throughout. Upstairs, three comfortable bedrooms share a remodeled full bath, while the finished attic - with opening skylight and sky views - has served as a study and sleeping space, and has potential to install a spiral stair. An unfinished basement provides laundry facilities, an original wood working bench, and abundant storage. Outdoor living is equally versatile: enjoy summer BBQs on the rear deck surrounded by mature trees, overlooking a large back yard. The driveway offers convenient off-street parking. Practical upgrades include new Marvin windows throughout in 2024, water heater, furnace, and roof, plus a south-facing roof ripe for solar panels. Don't miss this rare opportunity for incredible potential in one of Ann Arbor's most enviable locations. Schedule your showing today! Home Energy Score of 1. Download report at osi.a2gov.org/herd.
