18234 Arselot Drive

Exclusive opportunity to own the original manor house of Northville's prized Edenderry Hills subdivision. Built in the 1930s using rough-hewn beams that were salvaged from a barn, this historic jewel is a painstakingly-preserved example of the English Cottage architectural style that experienced an area-revival at that time. The brick and stone facade, arched front door, leaded-glass accent windows, pitched roof, and twin chimneys belong in a storybook; but it's the pastoral setting that really evokes the Cotswolds. Set on 1.5 acres of mature trees and lush perennial gardens; this extraordinary estate offers the best of both worlds - a private setting nestled within a sought-after subdivision. The 4,200 square-foot interior features 4 bedrooms, 4.5 bathrooms, and 2 wood-burning fireplaces. The kitchen boasts a dining area, wet bar, recipe desk, Sub-Zero refrigerator, gas range, microwave, dishwasher, and trash compactor. Multiple living spaces include a glass sun porch and library-like office that could transition into a first-floor bedroom. Two staircases lead to the upper level, where the master suite showcases a generous his-and-hers closet, privacy toilet, jetted tub, second-floor laundry, and adjoining nursery or exercise room. Above the heated 3-car garage is a game room or guest suite that is complete with its own full kitchen, bathroom, and independent HVAC appliances - offering flexibility for private accommodations or entertaining. Guests will arrive to the crackle of an elegant, circular pea-gravel driveway set over asphalt, old-world flagstone patios, and a garden pond - all supported by an irrigation system, subtle landscape lighting, and a natural gas generator. This sprawling property includes a carriage barn with finished second-story artist's studio - situated on an independent lot, providing future potential. This exceedingly rare opportunity is located in award-winning Northville School District and sits just minutes from a prized Victorian downtown.
