This one-of-a-kind bi-level home is designed to bring the outdoors in, with expansive windows and a thoughtful layout that's anything but cookie-cutter. The upper level features a bright and airy living room with stunning views of the woods and direct access to the upper deck. The open kitchen and dining area, complete with an island workspace and breakfast bar, is perfect for entertaining with ample cabinet and granite counter space and high-end stainless-steel appliances. This space seamlessly connects to a walk-through pantry and mudroom leading to the attached 2-car garage. A secluded loft space accessible by a ladder in the kitchen is the perfect reading/study/play nook, while a cozy sitting area with a wood stove adjoins the kitchen and a versatile office/den doubles as a guest room with a full bath. The lower level boasts an expansive primary suite with French doors to the lower deck, a private full bath, and a walk-in cedar closet. Two additional bedrooms with daylight windows share a full hallway bath, and the conveniently located laundry closet makes daily living a breeze. Much of the home enjoys sunny southern exposure, and clerestory windows upstairs provide additional light and air flow. Geothermal heating lowers utility costs, while refinished wood floors, new carpet, a new water heater, many newer windows, and a new water treatment system provide peace of mind and allow you to move right in and enjoy. Set on over two acres of gardens and woods backing to Van Curler Preserve, this home offers ultimate privacy and stunning nature views for birdwatchers and wildlife enthusiasts. Just a short walk to Dexter-Huron Metropark for beach access, trails, and river activities, and with easy access to Dexter, Ann Arbor, and major highways, this is a truly special home in an unbeatable location!
