728 Audubon Road

Welcome to 728 Audubon Road in East Lansing—a timeless 1929 English Tudor Revival designed by the esteemed Bowd & Munson architecture firm. Recently refreshed with professionally painted interiors in a clean, classic Alabaster palette, this residence blends historic character with a bright, cohesive feel—showcasing its craftsmanship while offering the confidence of major updates, including a 2014 architectural shingle roof (complete tear-off), updated plumbing and electrical, newer steam boiler and central air professionally maintained with a transferable maintenance program, heated bathroom floors, irrigation system, and whole-house generator. Set on over half an acre in the cherished Glencairn neighborhood, the home offers a rare combination of privacy and convenience—just moments from Michigan State University, Glencairn Elementary, and downtown East Lansing. Lush gardens, a tranquil pond with babbling brook, and winding pathways create a setting that feels like a private retreat. Inside, a gracious foyer welcomes you with original slate floors, leaded glass windows, and a sweeping staircase. The formal living room, lined with windows and anchored by a sculpted stone fireplace, captures peaceful garden views, while the mahogany-paneled library with its hand-painted botanical ceiling provides a warm and distinctive space to unwind or work from home. The dining room is filled with natural light and connects seamlessly to a butler's pantry and chef's kitchen, where Monet-inspired blue cabinetry, stone countertops, and premium Bertazzoni and Fisher & Paykel appliances combine beauty and function. Upstairs, five bedrooms and four baths—including three private ensuites and a spacious primary suite—are accessible via both the foyer staircase and a private kitchen stair, offering elegance, flow, and privacy. The lower level adds valuable living and entertaining space with a terrazzo-floored recreation room, fireplace, wet bar, wine cellar, powder room, and abundant storage. Outdoors, the grounds are truly special—flagstone paths, mature plantings, tulips, fruit trees, and perennial gardens surround a year-round water feature, fountain, gazebo, and shed, creating a setting that is both peaceful and memorable. Meticulously maintained and thoughtfully improved, this home offers the rare opportunity to own a property where timeless design meets modern reliability—an architectural gem that is as livable as it is distinctive.
