Spectacular isn't a big enough word for the views from every room in this penthouse condo in the center of downtown Ann Arbor. You'll never need to look for parking again when dining or shopping downtown.
With two parking places in the secure basement garage and 3 terraces on two levels, you have a home unique in appeal and livability for an urban life style.
The view at left from the upstairs landing looks down at the two story dining room and out across the city and old west side.
The entry (right) is also dramatic with it's two story, sky lit space.
The three terraces come complete with speakers wired to the amazing sound system and 2 have planters with automatic drip irrigation and wonderful night lighting. South and West exposure means dining continues outside well into November.
The foyer leads you into the great room area. This light filled space is the center of the house with kitchen, breakfast bar and bar sink area to the north, study (or second bedroom) and full bath to the west and the living room to the south and east. Here is where you gain entry to two of the terraces. The views go on and on in this indoor/outdoor dining space.
The 4th of July was a real treat for the current owners - as fireworks were seen all around.
Perfect for two, the kitchen is efficiently laid out (Design Cabinetry) with plenty of prep space and storage galore. The subzero refrigerator, microwave and disposal are new. Since the condo is just a few blocks from Kerrytown and Farmers' Market, it is easy to shop often and get flowers daily for a very European life style.
Two walk in pantrys and rear door access make this space easy to work in and provide plenty of storage.
The breakfast bar encourages intimate times and is perfectly positioned to act as a buffet for larger parties. Hard to imagine much cooking gets done with the views from this room.
Turn to the left and the large living room comes into view. Views are down Main St. to the south with the UM Football Stadium and Chrysler Arena offering special treats for the local sports fan.
A coved ceiling with hidden lighting adds height to balance the large 30'x15' space. The hub for the sound system is in this room. Special window treatments offer room darkening capability should you use this space for your media viewing too.
The first floor study offers privacy and more views. Current owners have a custom built solid Cherry bookcase with file storage and murphy style bed hidden in the cabinetry. The desk top collapses, bookcase walls slide apart and the bed drops down to create perfect space for last minute guest. A new bath is adjacent and features limestone tile on floor and shower walls.
