About This Property
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.
