If these walls could talk, they’d tell stories of generations past—of warm gatherings, festive celebrations, and quiet mornings beneath a canopy of trees. Originally built in 1840, this captivating historic home began its life as an inn, later became a beloved restaurant, and was relocated to its current setting in 1972. Thoughtfully expanded and renovated by its current owners in 1996, the home retains its timeless charm while offering modern comfort.
Set back from the road and surrounded by lush greenery, the property offers a serene and private retreat. Inside, the heart of the home is a flowing layout that seamlessly connects the breezeway, kitchen, patio, and family room—ideal for entertaining and everyday living. With stunning wide-plank peg hardwood floors, original leaded-glass windows, and natural light throughout, the home is both warm and elegant.
Offering three spacious bedrooms plus a flexible fourth room currently used as an office, the home adapts to your needs. The expansive primary suite features two closets and a luxurious bath, while the second-floor laundry adds convenience. Formal living and dining rooms provide refined spaces for special occasions.
Whether you're sipping coffee on the patio or enjoying the open, natural landscape from every room, this home blends country living with suburban ease—just minutes from the energy of downtown Detroit and Birmingham. A home where history, comfort, and beauty meet—ready to welcome its next chapter.
