Sq. Ft. 2,430 Beds 3 Full Baths 2 Half Bath 1 Yr Built 2000
Rare custom ranch offering refined design, thoughtful functionality, and exceptional seclusion in the prestigious Polo Fields neighborhood. Designed and built by Tom Germain in 2000, this beautifully maintained home sits on a secluded 0.47-acre lot with extensive landscaping backing to a serene woodline--creating a peaceful setting while remaining convenient to everything that matters, with the added benefit of lower Scio Township taxes. A striking first impression begins with Art Deco-inspired custom leaded-glass double front doors, complemented by a matching feature in the primary bath--both crafted by a local Ann Arbor artist--providing strong visual impact. Inside, a desirable split-bedroom floor plan offers both comfort and personal retreat. Rich hardwood flooring flows through the kitchen, dining room, family room, hallway & powder room. The gourmet kitchen is thoughtfully appointed with custom cherry cabinetry, granite countertops & spacious island with additional prep sink & beverage refrigerator. A breakfast bar with pendant lighting creates an inviting space for casual dining & entertaining. The vaulted family room showcases custom built-in cherry cabinetry with art display niches, while expansive casement & transom windows fill the space with natural light & offer unobstructed views of the surrounding landscape. The luxurious primary suite is a private retreat, featuring a spa-like bath with a soaking tub, tiled walk-in shower, dual vanities with custom cherry cabinetry, granite counters & under-cabinet lighting. Beautiful travertine limestone flooring with granite inlay adds an elegant touch. Two generously sized walk-in closets with organization systems, along with a cozy seating area and direct access to the patio, complete the suite. On the opposite side of the home, two additional bedrooms provide excellent privacy. One includes a large walk-in closet with built-in organization. Shared Jack-and-Jill bath features custom maple cabinetry, dual sinks & slate-surround walk-in shower. Additional highlights include a main-floor laundry room with drop zone & desk area off the garage & the bright 150 SF sunroom adding to the livable space during 3 seasons that seamlessly connects indoor & outdoor living, leading to an elevated paver patio overlooking the backyard. The expansive 2,430 sq ft basement with 9-foot ceilings offers incredible potential & includes rough plumbing for a future full bath. A rare dual staircase provides access both from inside the home and directly from the garage--ideal for convenience and flexibility. Major updates include a new roof & gutters with LeafFilter protection (2020), furnace and A/C (2021), gas fireplace insert (2021, convertible back to wood-burning), updated landscaping (2020), landscape lighting (2017), hot water tank (2017), and a newer washer and dryer (2025). A whole-house generator, serviced annually, provides added peace of mind. This exceptional home combines timeless craftsmanship, modern updates & highly desirable location--an outstanding opportunity in one of the area's most sought-after communities.
