4231 Shetland Drive

This exceptional mid-century modern home is Ann Arbor's best-kept secret! Nestled on a secluded 2+ acres surrounded by mature trees in a quiet neighborhood, the innovative bi-level is one of only 39 homes designed by Alside Homes confirmed to still be in existence. At every turn, care has been taken to maintain the historic integrity of the home while updating it for modern life. Inside, enjoy bright, open spaces with floor-to-ceiling windows and serene views of nature all around you. The entry level provides one en suite bedroom with updated full bath (ideal for in-laws or an au pair), an expansive family/game room, another bedroom/office with built-ins, and the laundry/utility room. From the impressive foyer, you can access the attached 2-car garage with finished floor, or venture upstairs to the main living spaces. The original kitchen has been preserved with newer appliances. Enjoy your breakfast here or in the formal dining room next door. At the back of the home is a magnificent living room with gas fireplace, access to the screened porch, and a wall of windows overlooking the deck, waterfall, and pool. The primary suite enjoys several closets and its own full bathroom, while two more bedrooms with original built-ins share a hallway full bath. Roof 2013, low maintenance exterior, newer zoned HVAC, most window panels recently replaced. Outside, a private paradise awaits. You can swim, garden, play, and relax without ever leaving home. Spend summer days enjoying the in-ground pool with diving board. Read a book on the deck while listening to the peaceful waterfall. Enjoy bug-free al fresco dining on the screened porch. The manicured landscape is full of perennial plantings with year-round interest and the newer shed holds all your toys and tools. Over 3500 square feet of living space inside and over two acres of recreation space outside - where else in Ann Arbor can you have that and still be just minutes from the UM and hospital campuses? All this with Burns Park Elementary and lower AA Township taxes. Don't miss this extraordinary residence!
