1155 W Huron River Dr, Ann Arbor, MI 48103

A home of enduring architectural significance, 1155 West Huron River Drive was originally featured in the 1995 Ann Arbor Home Builders Association Showcase of Homes, in the Ann Arbor News and, following an extensive renovation, graced the cover of Detroit Home magazine. Thoughtfully positioned on three private wooded acres overlooking Barton Pond, this extraordinary Country French-inspired residence blends timeless craftsmanship with refined modern living. Designed to celebrate its spectacular natural setting, exposed timber framing, soaring ceilings, beautiful views of the outside, and expansive terraces create a seamless connection between the home's interior & the breathtaking landscape beyond. Offering more than 5,200 finished square feet, every space has been thoughtfully designed for both everyday living & exceptional entertaining. The breathtaking great room serves as the architectural centerpiece, where dramatic rough-hewn timber beams frame sweeping seasonal views of Barton Pond & fill the home with warmth, character, and natural light. The heart of the home is a beautifully reimagined chef's kitchen that honors the home's original design while embracing modern luxury. Marble & stainless steel countertops, custom cabinetry, premium stainless steel appliances, and a handcrafted custom range hood blend effortlessly with carefully preserved original cabinetry & the home's original built-in hutch—a thoughtful tribute to the vision of its original owners. The adjoining dining area opens directly to the stone terrace, where an outdoor fireplace creates a memorable setting for al fresco dining & entertaining. You can also access the four season room just off the dining area. Originally designed as an outdoor gazebo, this beautifully reimagined retreat has been thoughtfully enclosed to create a light-filled sitting room complete with heating & air conditioning. Surrounded by panoramic views of the property and Barton Pond beyond, it offers a peaceful setting to enjoy every season of the year. The primary suite offers a peaceful retreat overlooking the surrounding landscape & water beyond. Thoughtfully reconfigured during the renovation, it features a spa-inspired bath appointed with quartzite & porcelain finishes, an expansive walk-in steam shower, dual vanities, generous walk-in closets, and custom built-in dressers—all designed to maximize comfort while capturing the serene views. The walkout lower level is every bit as refined as the main level, opening directly onto a bluestone terrace that invites year-round enjoyment of the property's tranquil setting. A full second kitchen, two spacious bedrooms, and two beautifully appointed bathrooms featuring custom tile & heated floors create exceptional flexibility for extended family, long-term guests, or effortless entertaining. Outdoor living is woven seamlessly into the home's design. Two terraces, mature landscaping, and an inviting outdoor fireplace provide numerous spaces to gather, relax, and enjoy the peaceful setting overlooking Barton Pond. Completing the estate is garage space for six vehicles, including an attached two-car garage with epoxy floors & a custom-built detached four-car garage. Rich in architectural history yet thoughtfully updated for today's lifestyle, this remarkable residence offers a rare opportunity to own one of Ann Arbor's most distinctive custom homes, just minutes from downtown Ann Arbor, the University of Michigan, and the area's premier parks and trails. An exceptional opportunity exists to expand this estate. The adjacent three-acre parcel is also available for purchase, offering the potential to create a rare six-acre retreat overlooking Barton Pond.
