Rare storybook retreat on 7.8 acres in Brighton offering a world where natural beauty, architectural charm, & thoughtful updates live in harmony. From the moment you arrive to the enchanting setting featuring lush gardens & mature trees, greenhouse, tennis court, fenced yard, and winding paths leading to a pond, spring fed grotto & creek. Sunlight dapples across stone and siding, all recently updated alongside new windows, hardwood flooring, mechanicals, and fully renovated kitchen and baths. Every surface and system has been tended-to, making this a property as sound as it is beautiful. Inside, the living room with custom paint framed by soaring windows & arched entryways. A wood stove radiates warmth, while rich wood floors anchor the space. The chef's kitchen has large center island, granite counters, custom cabinetry, and stainless appliances. Dining space invites lingering over meals, where a stone fireplace and glass doors open to the gardens beyond. Upstairs, the primary suite is a sanctuary, with a sun-splashed sitting area, updated ensuite with granite vanity, and warm tile for a spa-like sense of ease. Extend the entertaining to the expansive walk-out lower level, designed for making memories - game nights around the table, cozy evenings by the fireplace, or casual entertaining at the built-in kitchenette. With rustic wood beams & a charming brick feature wall, it's the kind of space where everyone feels at home. On the back stamped concrete patio, morning coffee comes with bird songs and evenings fade into starlight. Every inch of this property whispers of a life well-lived - one where seasons are savored, gatherings are memorable, and home is both a refuge and a muse. Perfectly positioned for both privacy & convenience, the property offers swift access to 96 for an effortless commute and is just minutes from the scenic trails, beaches, and boating at Kensington Metropark. Schedule your showing of this home filled with character, comfort, and space to roam!
