A Rare Sanctuary in the Heart of Brighton, 5595 Mountain Rd. Tucked away on 1.44 wooded acres in Brighton's sought-after Mystic Lake Hills, this all-brick ranch is more than a home, it's a retreat. With the quiet, ''up north'' feel of a private forest and the convenience of Brighton just minutes away, this property offers something increasingly rare: true peace. Cherished by only two owners in its lifetime, the home is as solid as the ancient oaks surrounding it, including a magnificent 300+ year old oak that has witnessed generations. Nature lovers will feel right at home spotting barred owls, deer, wild turkey, fox, and an extraordinary array of birds including orioles, grosbeaks, woodpeckers, and indigo buntings right from your own yard. A rich hardwood landscape of oaks, hickory, maple, dogwood, wild cherry, hemlock, and witch hazel creates a living, breathing backdrop through every season. Inside, the home greets you w/ beamed ceilings, a dramatic floor-to-ceiling stone fireplacw/ stone hearth, & a wall of windows delivering panoramic woodland views that blur the line between indoors & out. Three fireplaces throughout -- including one in the primary suite -- create warmth & ambiance year-round. The custom cherry cabinetry & original brass fixtures speak to the craftsmanship of a bygone era, while thoughtful updates bring the home fully into the present. The finished lower level (completed 2021) adds a flex room, open living space with large windows, & a walkout -- perfect for guests, a studio, or multigenerational living. Step outside to multiple decking levels, a firepit, & carefully designed sitting spaces ideal for forest bathing, birdwatching, or simply breathing it all in. Practical luxuries abound: a 3-person traditional wet/dry sauna, 3-season Michigan room, Anderson windows & doorwalls, custom window shutters throughout, a whole-house Generac generator, new well pump and lines, & a 3-car garage with hot/cold water & floor drain. Central vacuum w/ all attachments, updated kitchen & baths, & a concrete circle driveway lined w/ stone walls round out a home that has been lovingly maintained from the foundation up. Walking distance to state recreation hiking & biking trails, & served by the highly rated Brighton school district -- this is a property that defines a lifestyle. Solid bones. Serene setting. A home that holds its history & invites yours.
