5470 Miller Road

Multi-generational FARMHOUSE with separate GUEST HOUSE plus BARN/SHOP.
Quintessential original country homestead that has married the past and present. Formerly an apple orchard, this wooded 4-acre property boasts a 3500-sf main house, a 1230sf guest house, 3-car garage parking and a barn with shop area, and oil-changing pit. The renovated 2-bedroom guest house on the same property is a rare find, and perfect for accommodating additional family members nearby. The location, set back from the corner of Zeeb and Miller roads, is the best combination of privacy and convenience to highways, shopping, and schools. The driveway provides for entrances on both Miller and Zeeb roads and circles the house in elegant fashion. The former tennis court is ideal for sports or parking for a party. The property also connects to the Washtenaw County Border-to-Border trail for easy walking or biking to the local Metroparks, Dexter village, or Scio township shopping. Plenty of room here for family gatherings and activities.
The 6-bedroom main house (expanded in 1967) offers a large kitchen equipped with three sinks, a Thermidor oven, Dynasty range, granite countertops and wood floors. This connects to a large dining room, a library, an office/sunroom, and a living room with original hand-hewn beams that encase the doorframes and frame the ceiling. The original (1905) section of the house has retained the charm of tile and hardwood floors on split levels that create a tall basement, but now with all modern high efficiency windows. All new front and side stucco, together with new porch and portico elements enhance the cozy feel of this original home. A screened-in balcony overlooks the sizeable stone patio and mature trees. The guest house and barn provide for 3 garages with convenient shop areas that complete a highly functional setting for the active, larger family.
