The Glysson House—an exceptional piece of Ann Arbor architectural history! Designed as his personal residence by U-M civil and environmental engineering professor Eugene Glysson, this 1962 mid-century modern home was the first project of Joe O'Neal's O'Neal Construction. Redwood siding and stone set the stage for an original slate foyer, walnut slat divider and built-ins, hardwood floors, and expansive windows overlooking the southeast-facing backyard. The wood-paneled fireplace room features an ingenious power-operated bookcase concealing a passage to the adjoining study. Four main-floor bedrooms, two full baths, and laundry; spacious walkout lower-level opening directly to the backyard and attached 2-car garage. Wooded 1-acre lot in Ann Arbor Township, with Ann Arbor Schools and lower township millage. A rare opportunity to preserve authentic MCM character while updating to suit your vision. Well and septic inspection reports and stake survey drawing are uploaded with disclosures. THE GLYSSON HOUSE *An Original Ann Arbor Mid-Century Modern Residence* The Glysson House holds a distinctive place in Ann Arbor's architectural history. Designed as his personal residence by Eugene A. Glysson, a distinguished civil and environmental engineer and longtime University of Michigan professor, the home reflects an appreciation for thoughtful design, natural materials, and a strong connection to its surroundings. Built in 1962 by Joe O'Neal, the Glysson House was the very first project of O'Neal Construction, founded in Ann Arbor in 1961. The company continues to be an established presence in the region's construction industry more than six decades later. Positioned on a beautifully treed, nearly one-acre property, the home's low-profile roofline, redwood siding, and stone exterior introduce its original mid-century character. Expansive windows overlooking the southeast-facing backyard fill the interior with natural light and create a wonderful visual connection between the living spaces and landscape. Inside, the original slate foyer, striking walnut slat divider with integrated shelving, hardwood floors, and custom built-ins reflect the quality and individuality of the home's design. Spacious living and dining areas offer beautiful views of the mature trees and grounds. A separate, richly wood-paneled fireplace room features a substantial stone fireplace and built-in shelving. Among the home's most intriguing architectural details is an ingeniously concealed passage connecting this room with the adjoining study. At the touch of a switch, a power-operated built-in bookcase moves aside to reveal the hidden doorway—an unexpected example of the ingenuity incorporated into the original design. The main floor offers four bedrooms, a dedicated study, two full bathrooms, and convenient laundry facilities. The expansive walkout lower level provides generous additional recreation and gathering space, with large windows and direct access to the backyard. An attached two-car garage completes the home's practical features. Located in Ann Arbor Township, within the Ann Arbor Public Schools district, the property also enjoys the benefit of substantially lower township property tax millage compared with the City of Ann Arbor. For buyers who appreciate authentic mid-century architecture, the Glysson House presents an opportunity to preserve its distinctive original character while thoughtfully updating it for contemporary living. https://annarborobserver.com/joe-the-builder/
