About This Property
Set along a quiet road on 11 acres in Chelsea, this exceptional
Historic Cobblestone Farmhouse Estate blends timeless character,
thoughtful modern updates, and the rare lifestyle appeal of a
beautifully maintained country property just a short drive from Ann
Arbor. Built with rich architectural detail and enduring
craftsmanship, the home offers the warmth and charm of a historic
farmhouse while providing the comfort, efficiency, and flexibility
expected for modern living. The main residence features 4,420
square feet of living space filled with original features and
carefully preserved details, including solid two-panel doors, tall
ceilings, original exposed beams, wide plank floors, vintage
kitchen cubbies, extensive built-ins, and walk-in closets
throughout the bedrooms and bathrooms. The
renovated kitchen anchors the home with updated cabinetry,
countertops, refinished floors, exposed beams, and a butler's
pantry just off the kitchen. The first-floor primary suite includes
a beautifully renovated bath with heated floors, double vanities,
and a large shower with a Euro glass door. The 1st floor also
includes a 2nd full bath, a large office or 2nd bedroom, and a
comfortable dining/family room. The Carriage House Wing
creates a dramatic gathering space with a Napoleon woodstove set in
a stone fireplace, double-volume ceilings, a quaint loft office
with custom built-ins, handmade tin chandelier and sconces, and a
practical fully enclosed lean-to that functions beautifully as a
mudroom and winter wood-storage area. The 2nd
level features 3 generous bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, and laundry
room, while the 3rd floor offers a large flex space and additional
storage. Throughout the home, custom-fitted
interior glass storm windows improve efficiency while preserving
the beauty of the original windows. Year around comfort is
provided by a geothermal HVAC system. The exterior is
just as notable, with excellent stonework, copper gutters,
functional lightning rods, architectural woodwork on the expansive
front porch, and a well-maintained white picket fence. Mature maple
trees frame the property with exceptional fall color, while
established gardens offer flowering varieties throughout the
seasons. The land invites a slower, more
connected way of living: a native wildflower prairie with
maintained walking paths, a shaded picnic spot with fire pit, an
enclosed raised-bed kitchen garden, fruit trees & blueberry bushes,
a clothesline for crisp linens, and a large fenced area currently
used as a dog run. A secondary driveway with a quaint lane adds
character and convenient access to the Guest Cottage.
Set next to the main house, the Guest Cottage provides a
welcoming and private space for visitors, extended family, creative
use, or retreat-style living. It features a large porch, full
bathroom, four-season heating (propane) and cooling, a kitchenette,
Hunter Douglas blinds for privacy, exposed oak beams, tall
ceilings, and hardwood floors throughout. A
truly distinctive feature of the property, the Pizza Studio is
designed for memorable entertaining and hands-on culinary
experiences. The commercial wood-fired Forno Bravo pizza oven is
ideal for making pizzas, roasting meats, baking breads, canning,
sausage making, and gathering with friends and family. With ample
room for food prep, a large walk-in pantry, a full bathroom with
walk-in shower, and indoor-outdoor flow for large groups, this
space turns entertaining into an experience and includes four
season heating (propane) and cooling. The
property includes additional useful and charming outbuildings,
including a Big Red Barn, Workshop (where sellers park a vehicle),
Milk Room, and Chicken Coop. These spaces support a wide range of
lifestyle uses, from storage and hobbies to gardening, animals and
workshop projects. The big red barn has a newer roof and roof
decking, a recent structural inspection, electrical panel and
lighting, and water point in the barn basement.
