4805 Stone School Rd, Ann Arbor, MI 48108

Seize this rare opportunity to own a unique, updated 1890's farmhouse filled with charm and character, and surrounded by nature. Set on a five-acre homestead that is a working farm less than one mile from the Ann Arbor city limits! This is the historic Morgan farmhouse, thoughtfully remodeled by Giraffe Design Build, a specialist in historical renovations. The home features 5 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, with over 3000 sq.ft. of living space. With tall ceilings and large windows, the rooms are flooded with natural light at every turn. On the main floor, you'll find a true gourmet kitchen, featuring Kraftmaid's Starmark custom cherry cabinetry and 100-year old restored maple flooring. Centered on a large island with butcher block countertop, the workspace features a charming tin backsplash, a large farm-style sink, an additional prep sink, a large pantry, and a breakfast bar. The main floor also boasts gorgeous period oak flooring, a guest bedroom what can serve as a flex room, a large living room, a designated dining area off of the kitchen, a dedicated office, a first-floor laundry room, and a south-facing sunroom that leads out to the deck and hot tub. There's also a fully remodeled bathroom on the main floor, complete with cork flooring and a spa-sized custom-tiled shower with a glass Euro-door. Upstairs, you will find a loft and play area, another beautifully updated bathroom, and a spacious primary bedroom with a walk-in closet, plus three additional large bedrooms. The home also features generous closet space and a solid, clean Michigan basement with a partial concrete floor, perfect for storage or as a cellar. Now, let's talk about the outbuildings! Whether you are an executive dreaming of a mini farm, an animal enthusiast, an organic farmer, or a crafts person or contractor, the possiblilities are endless. This is a true working farm. A short walk from the house you will find a 20x40 garage with a connected office (ideal for working from home), and in the distance a truly majestic 40x80 circa 1920's red gambrel roof barn, complete with a drive-up hay loft (this space would be an amazing party barn!), and below is divided into a milking parlor and area for your animals. The horse stable was actually on this property before the main house and is complete with two stalls, a tack room, a storage room--wait until you see the axe marks on the solid beam (the craftmanship is incredible), and a wall with names etched in from years past--so cool! Another outbuilding/workshop with 220 power that is tall enough to fit a large boat, and there is even a chicken coop. The land is teeming with nature--eastern screech owls, wild turkeys, foxes, deer, and occasionally, bald eagles. Nestled across from a nature preserve, and surrounded by public land, you will be amazed by the peace and quiet, yet just moments from all that Downtown Ann Arbor has to offer! A new septic field was installed recently, public water, low Pittsfield township taxes, and Ann Arbor schools. This home is truly remarkable!
