About this home
For more than 30 years, this beloved Ann Arbor Craftsman has been the backdrop for everyday joys, milestone gatherings, and a warm sense of place. Thoughtfully updated and full of character and possibility, it is ready for its next chapter. Picture summer evenings on the welcoming three-season front porch, where skylights and Andersen windows invite in the glow of the day. From here, you can watch the neighborhood activity as people head toward downtown, then step outside to enjoy raspberries and tomatoes from the garden or simply savor the quiet comfort of a private oasis just blocks from the energy of the city. Built in 1901 or earlier, this 3-story home offers the soul and craftsmanship of another era, paired with the updates that make daily life easy. Hardwood floors, egg & dart woodwork, abundant natural light, and a cozy living room fireplace create a sense of welcome from the moment you step inside. The home offers flexibility for daily living, work, hobbies, and future plans... The renovated kitchen is where contemporary convenience meets timeless charm, featuring Cambria quartz countertops, KraftMaid soft-close cabinetry, newer stainless steel appliances, and a deep sink ready for everything from weekday meals to dinner parties. The dining room, framed by a bay window and a newer doorwall to the large back deck, naturally becomes the heart of gatherings, flowing easily outdoors for entertaining under the trees.
Upstairs, three bedrooms offer warm woodwork, new carpet, and a full bath. The third floor is a true bonus: currently flexible living space that could become two additional bedrooms, a home office, a creative studio, or an inspiring primary suite with future en suite potential. This additional square footage is not included in the assessor's total, giving the next owner even more room to dream.
Outside, the fenced backyard feels surprisingly spacious for such an urban location, with a large deck, patio, fire pit, and room to garden, gather, and unwind. The basement provides excellent project and storage space, complete with a workbench and a half bath that is plumbed for a full bath. A shared driveway leads to a detached one-car garage, with two driveway parking spots and the option for buyers to apply for residential street parking permits.
Practical updates add confidence, including two basement walls replaced by Yadlosky in 2002 and a recently painted exterior with 25-year Rhino-Shield ceramic paint. The result is a home that honors its historic character while offering meaningful improvements for modern living.
While our Home Energy Score (HERD) is only 1, it is hard to quantify the benefits of old world construction into an R value. The exterior walls are double plaster (full plaster wall with lath construction inside and out) with an air gap between, and the Rhino shield ceramic paint reflects UV light, and limits air infiltration while still allowing the building to breathe.
