This absolute treasure of a 1920's Cottage-style home is an exclusive sanctuary in Geddes Heights, with direct access to Nichols Arboretum and its beautiful woods, meadows, and famous peony gardens. The many updates and attention to detail reflect a sensitivity to the original unassuming charm. The exceptional kitchen renovation seamlessly blends high-end appliances for the avid cook with custom cabinetry and finishes that enhance original details, such as honed marble and bead board accents. The Miele-plumbed coffee bar was custom crafted to replicate a kitchen cupboard commonly found in a cottage of the era. Luxurious baths feature claw-foot tubs, marble European showers, mother-of-pearl backsplashes, and brass hardware. The primary bedroom suite on the main floor is a private oasis. The large bedroom has a sunny south facing wall of windows. The space includes an office/nursery, walk-in closets, and washer/dryer. A charming, mirrored dressing room leads to a full bath. Upstairs are a family room/office, 3 bedrooms and a full bath. One of the most gorgeous and private backyards in Ann Arbor is a retreat from busy days. The terraced garden is a lyrical space. Bluestone steps wind past mature flower beds, benches, a gentle fountain, a hammock for afternoon naps, and a fire pit for cool evenings. At the end of the path is a large, sunny studio. Plumbed for a bath, it could accommodate a guest or nanny suite. Proximity to the house could facilitate a connection between the spaces. Entertaining is a breeze on the professionally landscaped patio. It has access from the dining room and 4-season room, as well as French doors from the garage to allow caterers to stage there. The home is 4964 feet, including the studio. Your family can grow up here, learning to ride bikes on the quiet streets, exploring in the Arb, taking swimming and tennis lessons at the Racquet Club. In the morning, you can walk the children to school on your way to work. This neighborhood of gracious homes is like no other in Ann Arbor, tucked away in a location supremely convenient to all our city has to offer.
