About This Home
Designed in 1937 and lived in by noted Ann Arbor modernist architect George Brigham, this distinctive home pairs sleek, light-filled spaces with thoughtful updates that respect its architectural history.

An accessible first-floor suite features a zero-entry shower and floating sink, while the second-floor primary suite creates a restful retreat with en suite, walk in closet and fireplace, plus another light-filled family room with new triple-pane windows and private balcony. Unique corner windows allow unobstructed views of the serene and lovely setting in the heart of Ann Arbor. Home Energy Score of 1. Download report@ stream.a2gov.org. Live within a legend at 515 Oswego! The generous main living room offers space for multiple seating and activity areas. A finished lower level adds a full bath and another bright family room, providing even more versatility.

Your front door is just few steps to the Arboretum entrance on Geddes Avenue. A quick walk or bike ride to the South University district or even Main Street and Kerrytown gives easy access to Ann Arbor's marvelous cultural events, University life, and the renowned University of Michigan Hospital.
