Tucked away in a private wooded setting on a quiet street with no through traffic, this sprawling custom built brick Northville retreat sits on 2.2 acres and offers the rare feeling of up north living with all the conveniences. Surrounded by mature woods and nature. Expansive windows and walls of glass fill the home with natural light while capturing beautiful wooded views from nearly every angle.
Designed with both everyday living and entertaining in mind, the spacious kitchen features abundant custom cabinetry, a large center island with a granite countertop, a sun-filled glass-surround breakfast nook overlooking the peaceful backyard. The thoughtfully designed floor plan flows seamlessly from the kitchen and breakfast area to the deck, dining room, and living room creating wonderful spaces for large gatherings and entertaining.
The oversized lower level family room offers a warm and inviting retreat with its brick surround wood burning fireplace, perfect for cozy evenings and movie nights. A three season room and expansive deck extend the living space outdoors, providing the ideal setting to relax, entertain, or simply enjoy the serenity and privacy of the surrounding woods.
Offering 4 bedrooms, 3 full baths, a heated 3 car attached garage, and an unfinished daylight basement. This home provides exceptional living, storage, and future finishing potential.

Just minutes from downtown Northville shopping, dining, and award-winning Northville schools. This exceptional property delivers an increasingly rare combination of space, privacy, natural beauty, and convenience. The best of all worlds and the benefit of lower Township taxes.
