About This Property

This spectacular, historic Kerrytown home, impeccably maintained since its gut remodel in 2014 is within walking distance of the downtown's boutiques and restaurants. Redesigned by historical preservation architects, Mitchell and Mouat, it was stripped inside, down to the studs, to create a solid foundation for new oak flooring throughout, laid over restructured, leveled floor joists, and restored with all new HVAC, copper plumbing, solid wood doors and custom wood window replications of the home's original design. During the remodel, a bright and airy 3rd story was added, complete with skylights, a modernistic, floating staircase and mini-split temperature control system. The exterior brickwork was tuck-pointed and restored with antique bricks where necessary, and copper, square gutters were handmade to enhance the era-appropriate exterior. In the back, a large outdoor patio space is enclosed with a custom, metal gate (detailed with the address) set apart from its coveted 4 car downtown parking area. The attention to detail is expressed in the high-end choices of door hardware, bathroom faucets, tub and other fixtures throughout the home, handpicked to enhance and modernize this home's chic charm and quality standards. Located within Ann Arbor's downtown, dynamic D2 zoning, this property offers families and investors a myriad of possibilities for future use including residential/commercial/short term housing spaces, and the possibility of adding a grandma-cottage/workout space, or garage.
