Nestled on a large, beautifully landscaped lot in Ann Arbor's highly desirable Upper Water Hill neighborhood, this spacious ranch home offers the perfect blend of comfort, character, and natural beauty. Surrounded by mature pines, maples, junipers, tulip magnolia, and a designated Ann Arbor Champion Tree--an impressive Amur cork tree gracing the front yard--the property provides a private, park-like setting just minutes from downtown.
Meticulously maintained and thoughtfully updated, the home features 4 bedrooms, 3.5 baths, classic hardwood floors, an updated kitchen, newer roof & HVAC system, and a stunning newer oversized deck overlooking the serene backyard. The expansive family room and bright sunroom, with large windows and a dramatic door wall, bring the outdoors in and offer peaceful views of the surrounding landscape year-round.
The private backyard retreat includes an enclosed sauna creating a relaxing spa-like experience at home. The finished basement offers a nostalgic mid-century vibe with a wet bar, pool table (included), and abundant space for entertaining, hobbies, or recreation.
With outstanding curb appeal and an unbeatable location, this home is within walking distance of Bird Hills Nature Area, Wines and Forsythe award-winning schools, downtown Ann Arbor, Kerrytown, and the University of Michigan Medical Center. Easy access to major highways makes commuting a breeze while still enjoying the tranquility of one of Ann Arbor's most sought-after neighborhoods. Garage/carport can easily be enclosed!
