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 peaceful feeling of up north living with suburban convenience. Expansive windows and walls of glass fill the home with natural light and beautiful wooded views. Enjoy approximately 2 acres of natural beauty and privacy without the upkeep of a large traditional lawn.
Designed for everyday living and entertaining, the spacious kitchen features abundant custom cabinetry, a large granite topped center island, and a sun filled glass surround breakfast nook. The open flow connects the kitchen to the deck, dining room, and living room. An oversized lower level family room with a brick surround wood burning fireplace provides a cozy gathering space, while the three season room and expansive deck invite you to enjoy the peaceful surroundings.
Offering 4 bedrooms, 3 full baths, a heated 3 car attached garage, and an unfinished daylight basement, this home provides exceptional space and future potential. While solidly custom built with wonderful living spaces, it offers the next owner an opportunity to bring their own vision and updates to create something truly special.
Recent improvements include a new roof, aluminum gutters and gutter guards in 2025, new driveway, and new gas stove in 2025. Mechanicals are professionally inspected and serviced annually.
Just minutes from downtown Northville shopping, dining, and award winning Northville schools, this exceptional property offers a rare combination of acreage, privacy, natural beauty, convenience, and lower Township taxes.
