Offers due by 11am on Monday, April 14, 2025. Built in 2013, this custom Craftsman-inspired ranch home blends classic charm with modern sustainability, all nestled in a serene natural setting just steps from the Huron River. From the covered front porch, you're welcomed into the open main level and vaulted great room with a stunning wall of windows overlooking the backyard. A gas fireplace with stone façade, flanked by custom built-in cabinets, is the perfect place to gather on chilly winter evenings. The chef's kitchen provides abundant custom cabinetry, quartz counters, an eye-catching tile backsplash, stainless steel appliances, and a breakfast bar that doubles as serving space for the adjoining dining room. An adjacent sitting room connects to the screened porch, which extends your living space outdoors and provides an ideal space to relax after a long day. On the main floor, the spacious primary suite features 9' ceilings, tranquil views, a large walk-in closet, and a private full bathroom with two vanities, tiled shower, and water closet. A nearby office can also serve as a nonconforming guest/fourth bedroom with its own full bathroom next door. A generous mud/laundry room with drop zone and pet-washing station connects the kitchen to the attached 2.5-car garage. The finished half of the lower level enjoys abundant natural light from daylight windows and includes a comfortable family room, two sizable bedrooms, and a third full bathroom. The unfinished half features generous storage/utility space. The home's energy-efficient features include a 6.6KW solar energy system that generates 7 MWh per year, an electric heat pump with backup furnace, an on-demand water heater, Level 2 EV charger, and energy recovery ventilator for year-round indoor comfort. A Powerwall battery system stores excess solar energy generated during the day for use at night. It also provides up to 48 hours of energy for essential operations in case of a power outage. Outside, a pollinator-friendly prairie welcomes you up the driveway, and the private fenced backyard provides a lush oasis bordered by low-maintenance native perennials. Every detail of this special property has been thoughtfully designed and meticulously executed. Quick to nearby parks and nature areas with easy access to downtown Ann Arbor, the UM campuses, and M-14/I-94 for commuters. This is the one you've been waiting for!
