LISTED FOR COMP PURPOSES ONLY. This beautiful and sought-after mid-century modern gem, designed by Robert Metcalf (built 1958) is carefully updated, and maintains all the original architectural characteristics. This historic home is located on a quiet tree lined street and looks onto a golf course, famous for it's sledding hills. Purchased by current owners in 2006 and lovingly restored throughout, resulting in the Historic Preservation Award by the city of Ann Arbor in 2017. A luscious perennial garden and gracious steps leads to a welcoming front door. Once inside, abundant and expansive windows blur the boundaries between inside and outside. Hardwood floors throughout the home alongside the original tiled floors which ground the view. In every direction, the home unfolds it's unique design. Metcalf's use of Cedar, Walnut, vertical-grained Douglas Fir and natural stones brings warm sensibility to every room in this house, bringing striking counterpoint to this progressively modern home.
