About this home
There is a certain magic to this corner of Dexter.
Nestled within the beloved Westridge community, this charming and meticulously maintained 3-bedroom, 2-bath ranch offers a rare combination of turnkey condition, thoughtful updates, natural beauty, and an exceptional location. Tree-lined streets, sparkling fountain-fed ponds, winding sidewalks, and welcoming neighborhood parks create the kind of setting where evening strolls, bike rides, and conversations with neighbors remain part of everyday life.
The home itself has been lovingly prepared for its next chapter. Over the past year, the sellers have refreshed the property from top to bottom, addressing not only visible improvements but also the countless details that often linger on a homeowner's list. Fresh interior paint creates a bright, welcoming atmosphere throughout. Recent updates include a refreshed bathroom featuring a refinished vanity with a new stone countertop and porcelain sink, updated mirror trim, and reglazed tile; handsome new ceiling fans in the kitchen and great room; attractive window treatments and effortless push-pull shades throughout the home; a newly stained deck ready for summer entertaining; and a new side garage entry door and frame. Roof is approximately 8 years old, and furnace was maintained in 2025.
The eat-in kitchen blends function and charm with stainless steel appliances, a new chandelier fixture, a Kohler stainless-steel chef's sink, and a gooseneck spring pull-down faucet. Conveniently situated between the attached two-car garage and the kitchen, the first-floor laundry room further enhances the ease of single-level living. The result is a home that feels exceptionally cared for, with pride of ownership evident at every turn.
Light pours through the home's inviting living spaces, illuminating solid oak hardwood floors and creating a warm backdrop for daily life. The ranch floor plan offers the comfort and flexibility of true single-level living, while the extra large unfinished lower level expands the home's versatility and potential, and includes a working sauna, creating the perfect place to unwind after a Michigan winter day, a long bike ride, or an afternoon spent exploring the area's nearby trails and parks.
Outside, the property becomes something altogether special.
Set on nearly one-third of an acre, the grounds feel more private garden retreat than suburban lot. Mature black walnut trees cast dancing shadows across the landscape while established perennial gardens create layers of color, texture, and seasonal beauty. In spring, sweeping drifts of lily of the valley and graceful bleeding hearts emerge beneath the canopy. A storybook trellis welcomes visitors and frames the transition into the backyard, where birdsong, mature landscaping, and leafy privacy create an atmosphere that feels wonderfully removed from the pace of everyday life.
Whether enjoying a quiet morning coffee beneath the trees or gathering with friends on the deck as evening light filters through the branches, the setting offers a rare sense of calm. It evokes the feeling of a cherished Up North retreat, yet remains firmly connected to the conveniences of one of Washtenaw County's most desirable communities.
Residents of Westridge of Dexter enjoy beautifully maintained common areas, scenic walking paths, sparkling ponds, and inviting benches positioned for moments of quiet reflection on a sunny afternoon. The HOA handles the heavy lifting, allowing homeowners to enjoy the beauty of the neighborhood without the burden of extensive maintenance, while maintaining modestly low annual HOA dues.
Beyond the property itself, the lifestyle is what truly sets this home apart. Just moments away, downtown Dexter offers locally owned restaurants, coffee shops, parks, seasonal festivals, community events, and direct access to the Border-to-Border Trail system. Nearby lakes, rivers, Metroparks, and nature preserves provide endless opportunities for recreation throughout every season.
Adding to the home's unique sense of place is one of Dexter's most beloved local traditions. Just a short walk from your doorstep, Jenny's Farm Stand & Cider Mill brings a touch of countryside charm to everyday life. Depending on the season, you may catch sight of horses grazing in nearby pastures, stop for fresh cider and donuts on an autumn afternoon, or simply enjoy the feeling that you've discovered a quieter, gentler corner of Michigan while remaining just minutes from modern conveniences, downtown Ann Arbor, and the University of Michigan.
The area continues to benefit from meaningful community investment, with roadway and intersection improvements currently underway and anticipated for completion in late summer 2026. These enhancements are designed to improve safety, traffic flow, and overall convenience for area residents.
Just minutes from downtown Dexter, Ann Arbor, and I-94, this is a home that offers a rare balance of charm and convenience, nature and neighborhood, privacy and connection.
A place where mornings begin with birdsong, afternoons invite a walk to the cider mill, and evenings unfold beneath a canopy of mature trees.
Simply move in, settle in, and enjoy all that makes Dexter such a special place to call home....
