Tucked away on 1.83 wooded acres along the meandering banks of Honey Creek, this one-of-a-kind log cabin-inspired retreat offers the perfect blend of rustic charm, modern updates, and peaceful natural surroundings - all just minutes from the heart of Ann Arbor. Lovingly maintained and thoughtfully updated by the same family for more than 30 years, this special property is ready to welcome its next chapter. A circular drive and dual carports create a warm first impression, while the covered front porch invites you inside to a home filled with character and flexibility. On the west side of the home, a former attached garage has been transformed into an expansive open-concept living space featuring a chef's kitchen, dining area, and spacious living room beneath a vaulted ceiling with skylights. The beautifully updated kitchen offers granite countertops, abundant cabinetry and display storage, professional-grade stainless steel appliances (including a wine fridge), and an island workspace with breakfast bar, while the living room is anchored by warm wood floors and an impressive stone feature wall ready for your built-in television. The main level includes three bedrooms, two full bathrooms, a powder room, and convenient bedroom-level laundry. The serene primary suite is a true retreat with two closets, a wall of windows, private balcony overlooking Honey Creek, and a spa-inspired remodeled bath complete with soaking tub, rain shower, and unique vanity with ample storage. Two additional bedrooms share a Jack-and-Jill bath, including one with a charming loft space kids will adore. Upstairs, a versatile second-floor living area offers endless possibilities. Currently configured as a spacious family room with a stone fireplace and secondary kitchen area, this flexible space could easily become the ultimate game room, guest suite, in-law apartment, or teen retreat. Step outside to yet another private balcony with tranquil creek and woodland views. The finished lower level expands the home's functionality with an additional bedroom, full bathroom, abundant storage, and multiple flex spaces perfect for a home office, playroom, fitness area, or media room. Outdoors, enjoy nearly two acres of privacy and natural beauty from multiple balconies, patios, and the covered front porch, or explore the woods and fish in Honey Creek right from your own backyard. Additional improvements include an EV charger, backup generator, reverse osmosis in the kitchen, and smart lighting throughout. Experience the best of both worlds - your own private outdoor oasis just 10 minutes from downtown Ann Arbor, the University of Michigan campuses, Dexter-Huron Metropark, and endless shopping and dining options. Opportunities like this are few and far between - schedule your private showing today and discover the charm, serenity, and endless possibilities this unique property has to offer.
