About This Home

As of September 2025

Tucked among mature trees in a quiet, secluded setting, this beautifully updated Saginaw Hills home offers serene pond views, a flexible layout, and thoughtful upgrades so it's ready for you to move right in with plenty of time to host summer BBQs and get settled before school starts! Step onto the covered front porch and into the dramatic two-story great room, where a statement fireplace and a wall of windows looking out onto the water create a warm and inviting focal point. Adjacent to the great room is the brand-new luxury kitchen, featuring slim shaker wood cabinetry, quartz countertops, high-end stainless-steel appliances including a double oven, and a large island with breakfast bar seating. The kitchen sink, refrigerator, and pot filler share a reverse osmosis system, and a built-in wet bar with beverage cooler makes entertaining a breeze. The dining area is surrounded by windows and opens to a spacious deck overlooking the pond, while a screened-in porch offers shaded, insect-free outdoor enjoyment. Timeless wood floors run throughout the main living spaces. Savor one-level living with three bedrooms and two full bathrooms on the entry level. The luxurious primary suite offers a private deck with tranquil views, a walk-in closet, and a completely renovated bath with dual vanity, soaking tub, separate rain shower, and heated floors. Two additional bedrooms with walk-in closets share an updated hallway full bath. The main level also includes a bright front study/den and a mud/laundry room with extra storage adjacent to the attached two-car garage with new door and myQ smart opener. Upstairs, a versatile loft overlooks the great room and is ideal for a playroom or home workspace. The walkout lower level provides exceptional space and versatility, with a generous family/rec room with fireplace, an additional bedroom and full bath, and a flex room with access to the lower deck and yard - ideal as a private guest or in-law suite. There's also a massive unfinished area ready for your customization. Outside, enjoy the convenience of low-maintenance natural landscaping with a sprinkler system. Recent updates include new lighting, flooring, trim, paint, and doors, as well as a new roof (2025), new front and garage doors, and new septic tanks. All this privacy and natural beauty, plus Ann Arbor Schools with lower Scio Township taxes, just minutes from downtown and the UM campuses!
