Gorgeous and lovingly maintained, this classic Tudor is positioned on a prime corner lot of the highly desirable Briarwood neighborhood of Okemos. Cherished by the same family for more than forty years, this home has long been known as the 'it' place for friends and neighbors to gather where holidays were shared with anyone and everyone who stopped by and countless memories made. It's a home that has held a great deal of joy, and the family says goodbye with full hearts. From the moment you step inside it feels warm and welcoming. A generous foyer with custom stained glass windows and large closets creates a gracious transition into the main living spaces. The kitchen serves as the heart of the home, featuring granite countertops, an island, custom cabinetry, tilework, and thoughtfulbuilt ins. It opens seamlessly to a bright and cozy family room anchored by a gas fireplace with a beautiful masonry surround. Both spaces spill out onto a deck overlooking a meticulously landscaped backyard filled with native plantings and Japanese inspired garden elements supported by a built in irrigation system-an oasis in every season. A formal dining room, elegant living room, and a charming half bath hand painted by local designer Vivian Dwyer complete the first floor. Upstairs, the primary bedroom offers its own ensuite bath and double closet, while three additional bedrooms share a spacious full bathroom. The lower level provides even more room to live and play, with a huge finished rec room perfect for movie nights, games, workouts, or gatherings. Built in shelving, closets, and a bar area make it a natural extension of the home's entertaining spaces. A large laundry room and utility area provide abundant storage and functionality. Add in the unbeatable proximity to award winning Okemos schools, nearby parks and trails, and the warmth of a truly friendly neighborhood, and you'll find a home that offers not just beauty, but a wonderful way of life.
