$950,000

Designed by architect Mark Steele, this distinctive contemporary rests at the end of a private lane on 1.06 wooded acres in Franklin. Expansive windows frame the surrounding trees, while curved entry steps, varied ceiling heights and an upper overlook create changing perspectives throughout the interior. Recessed dark shadow reveals define architectural edges in place of conventional trim, and custom built-ins provide a thoughtful setting for art, books and treasured objects. The first-floor layout lends itself beautifully to entertaining. The expansive great room with fireplace accommodates larger gatherings while offering inviting places for conversation. The kitchen's triangular island and overhead glazing continue the home's geometric expression, while the updated adjoining living space offers a comfortable place to gather, unwind and enjoy the wooded views. Upstairs, an office/library with fireplace overlooks the living space, creating a distinctive retreat for reading or working from home, with potential to explore a fourth-bedroom conversion. Three bedrooms, an updated primary bathroom, generous closet storage and three full baths plus a powder room support everyday living. The finished lower level provides additional gathering space. A Generac generator supplies backup power to approximately 75% of the home. The wooded backyard awaits your vision for an outdoor oasis, with posts remaining from the former deck offering a starting point to explore. A two-car attached garage and Birmingham schools complete the offering. Here, wooded privacy and individual architectural character come together with the charm of Franklin Village and access to Metro Detroit's dining, arts and cultural destinations. Property is accessed via a private drive connecting to Scenic Lane. Recorded easement documents are available in MLS Docs.
