Rare home nestled on a shady private lot in coveted West Bloomfield Lake Estates. Home is a short jaunt to city amenities like church, temple, library and schools while also offering nearby natural amenities like a calming community pond and access to miles of trails of West Bloomfield Nature Preserve. Monumental entryway is centered by the shady private lot with circle drive and two car side-entry garage. Fantastic contemporary interior epitomizes 'home' with a perfect combination of comfort, style, and function. Updated hardwood floors extend throughout the main floor, highlighting the unique features like built-in cabinetry and custom recessed lighting. Architectural details like crown mouldings, tile backsplash, and vaulted ceilings make a bold statement or luxury. Bright views of nature from every direction from the three upper level bedrooms and posh master suite. Finished basement is an entertainment haven, with recreation room, office, and full bath.
