Steeped in history and defined by enduring craftsmanship, this exceptional all-brick Tudor stands as one of Upper Essex Heights' most distinguished homes! From the moment you enter, discover a wealth of architectural details, including original Pewabic Pottery tile in the foyer and fireplace—an iconic hallmark of Michigan's celebrated Arts & Crafts tradition, ornate hardware, tiled vanities, and so much more. One of the home's most memorable spaces is the walnut-paneled library, where custom built-in bookcases and an exquisite map of the pre-war world create an atmosphere of warmth, scholarship, and timeless sophistication. Equally impressive, the expansive conservatory and adjoining sunroom are bathed in natural light, seamlessly extending the home's living space.

The grand formal dining room with dramatic floor-to-ceiling windows topped with arched transoms create the perfect setting for memorable gatherings. The expansive kitchen provides abundant cabinetry and workspace, flowing effortlessly into a 2nd family room centered around a fireplace with classic brick surround and direct access to your private outdoor retreat. Upstairs, 4 generously sized bedrooms accompany 2 full bathrooms and a beautifully finished walk-up attic, thoughtfully renovated in 2023 with refinished hardwood floors, a mini-split heating and cooling system, and a custom wood-and-iron staircase railing. This versatile space easily serves as a guest suite, artist's studio, recreation room, playroom, or second home office. The spacious primary suite is a true sanctuary, complete with a sitting area, private balcony for morning coffee, an en-suite bath, and its own fireplace. Hardwood floors on the staircase and second-floor hallway were also professionally refinished in 2023. The partially finished basement expands the home's versatility with a recreation room, bar area, full workshop, third full bathroom, laundry room, generous storage, and additional flex space ideal for a home gym or hobby room. Outside, an enchanting backyard retreat unfolds beneath a canopy of mature trees. The brick paver courtyard is anchored by a one-of-a-kind handcrafted outdoor fireplace, creating an unforgettable setting for al fresco dining and entertaining. Framed by the home's stunning conservatory and complemented by a spacious three-car detached garage, this private outdoor sanctuary is as functional as it is inviting. Recent enhancements include a professionally leveled driveway with repaired expansion joints (2025), a fully installed underground invisible fence (2025), and comprehensive critter-proofing around the home. Additional improvements include: new water heater (2022), new conservatory and garage gutters (2022), new garbage disposal (2025), new dishwasher (2025), new washer (2026), and extensive 2023 updates to the finished attic and second-floor hardwood flooring. Ideally situated just a short walk from Parkside Schools, tennis courts, the Falling Waters Trail, and Cascades Park, with convenient access to the best of Ann Arbor and Lansing.
