ANN ARBOR, MI – From its mid-century modern design to its high-end contemporary renovations and addition that doubled its size, a home in the Ann Arbor Hills neighborhood offers the best of all worlds, real estate agent Laura Fisher said.
Built by noted Michigan Stadium addition builder Henry deKoning in 1950 as a family home, 2225 Belmont Road has been updated and expanded as a dream home for a pair of former University of Michigan athletes and their family.
Listed at $4.3 million, the home at 2225 Belmont is MLive’s House of the Week.
“It’s true mid-century architecture where you’ve got a lot of windows, floor to ceiling,” said Fisher, the co-listing agent with Howard Hanna Real Estate Services. “You get the contemporary amenities of the home gym, the spa, the sauna and media room, which you don’t find with the traditional mid-century home.”
The five-bedroom, 6.5-bathroom home offers 7,310 square feet of space after undergoing extensive renovations and a 3,600-square-foot addition in 2016, along with two acres of private land with modern landscaping.
Located one mile from the University of Michigan campus, the home features a natural creek border and numerous outdoor amenities for entertaining guests.
