This is a bright and open contemporary Cape Cod home, situated on 2.5 acres with expansive views of the surrounding natural landscape. Perfect for a family who wants space to play and explore (and enjoy township taxes), while remaining within a quick 15 min drive to downtown Ann Arbor. This house was thoughtfully designed to maximize the floor plan, incorporating features often found only in a larger footprint. The open floor plan connects the living, dining, and kitchen areas into a warm, communal space, and maximizes the southern light and views of the property, as well as the gas fireplace. Kitchen includes quartz countertops, a 7' island with prep and seating space, an induction cooktop, a double convection wall oven, and a large apron sink. An adjacent walk in pantry keeps food, supplies, and appliance storage in close proximity. Nearby mudroom, with entry from the attached garage, has bench seating and storage, coat hooks and shelves (which are included with the home), amidst generous space for dressing and undressing in snow gear in those winter months. On the opposite end of the mudroom are the stacked large capacity washer and dryer, and utility sink, for first floor laundry access. The half bath is adjacent to the mudroom and is easily accessible from the common area, but set back for additional privacy. The stairs leading to the upper and lower levels separate the mudroom/bathroom side from the kitchen/dining/living side. A main floor screened in porch, overlooking the back yard, is adjacent to the dining area and across from the mudroom. There is also a first floor master with a longer footprint for both a bed as well as sunlit seating and/or a small desk area. It includes a walk in closet (with interchangeable shelving, hanging rods, and bins), and a bathroom with dual sinks and a shower with a European glass door. The front porch was updated and extended with Trex decking and a wrap around step for seating. There is low maintenance Hardie Board siding on the exterior. The stairs to the second floor lead to an open landing area with a reading nook (that could also be a homework or play area; but bookcases are included with the home). There is a full bath with two separate, adjacent vanities, along with a built in tub / shower. The playroom over the garage has been finished with a closet, and is currently used as a bedroom. (There is room for both a double and a single bed as well as a play area and chair on the other side of the room.) There are 3 other bedrooms upstairs, one larger bedroom facing the front of the house, and two identically sized rooms facing the back. The lower daylight level is partially finished, and prepped to be expanded into valuable living space. It is plumbed for a full bathroom (below the mudroom) and boasts 3 larger egress windows, for flexibility with future use. There are multiple electrical outlets built in to the daylight window wall as well as wiring to provide electricity and cable to a wall mounted TV for conversion to a family room area. It is currently used as a rec space; gaming (ping pong, air hockey, window benches filled with legos), a table for crafts, and an exercise area. There is an utility area (with electrical / furnace / water heater / sump pump) behind the area plumbed for bathroom. The well bladder and water softener are adjacent to the exercise area. The current home owners utilize the back wall for storage shelves (behind the curtains in the photos). Home includes smart features with wireless lights in the living room and the basement, as well as a Nest thermostat. The garage door has a quiet belt system, and can be set up for wireless control as well. Garage also includes a wall storage system and a Garage Gator (motorized storage lift, currently used for bikes).
