Most major improvements are still covered by multi-year transferable warranties, providing valuable peace of mind for the next owners. The dry basement has a full perimeter interior drain system, further reflecting the exceptional care and maintenance invested in this home. Every detail reflects pride of ownership and careful planning. The flexibility is ideal for today's lifestyle, whether you're working remotely, operating a home-based business, welcoming clients into a dedicated workspace, or simply enjoying all these special amenities for yourself. The possibilities are endless. More than a home, this is an opportunity to live intentionally, harvesting vegetables from your own garden, gathering fresh berries for breakfast, enjoying quiet evenings under the stars, and creating a life connected to nature. With a fully owned solar system providing long-term energy savings and no lease or loan to assume, this home offers both environmental sustainability and meaningful financial benefits.

- Welcome to a truly special property where modern comfort meets sustainable living. Tucked nearly 900 feet off the road in a private and peaceful setting, this beautifully updated home offers a rare opportunity to embrace a healthier, more self-sufficient lifestyle without sacrificing convenience. Located with a Northfield Township tax advantage and an Ann Arbor mailing address, you'll enjoy easy access to Ann Arbor, Plymouth, Dexter, Northville, and major commuter routes while feeling worlds away from it all. The current owners lovingly created what they believed would be their forever home. Their vision was simple: grow food, live naturally, and create a place where family, work, and wellness could thrive. The result is an extraordinary property featuring thriving flower gardens, vegetable and fruit gardens, and numerous raised beds, mature fruit-bearing plants, and enough blackberry bushes to produce dozens of quarts of berries each year. Imagine stepping outside to harvest fresh
