Property Description

On the market for the first time in nearly 90 years, this cherished and well-maintained home is nestled on a quiet side street on Ann Arbor’s old west side. This timeless brick residence blends historic character with thoughtful updates and an unbeatable walkable location. Just a block and a half block from Eberwhite Elementary and its playground, six blocks from Slauson Middle School and the neighborhood sledding hill, a half block from the Eberwhite Woods, and within walking distance of downtown Ann Arbor, the University of Michigan, the YMCA, Virginia Park, Allmendinger Park, and Pioneer High School, the setting is as exceptional as the home itself. Inside, original craftsmanship shines through with unpainted woodwork, original doors and hardware, and hardwood floors throughout. The living room centers around a working wood-burning fireplace, creating a warm and inviting gathering space. The distinctive mid-century modern kitchen features original 1950 Geneva steel cabinetry and a classic Vent-A-Hood exhaust hood, offering vintage charm rarely found today. The home also includes a walk-up attic with future expansion potential, a two-car garage, and an expansive unfinished basement currently serving as an office, art studio, music room, craft room, and exercise space. Major improvements provide peace of mind, including a new roof with transferable warranty (2022), furnace (2020), water heater (2019), central air conditioning (2024), and Bosch dishwasher (2025). The chimney was rebuilt from the roofline up, and annual HVAC maintenance was completed by Koch & White in April 2026. An underground cistern in the backyard and a drainage system behind the garage further enhances the property’s functionality. A rare opportunity to own a beautifully preserved piece of Ann Arbor history in one of the city’s most sought-after neighborhoods. Home Energy Score of 3. Download report at Ann Arbor herdmap
