Few homes enjoy such a privileged position in Forest Hills Central Schools and cannot be replicated at this value with rising construction costs. This 4 BR, 3.5 BTH Modern Farmhouse is perfectly placed between Ada and Cascade just a stone's throw from the Camelback Bridge and nestled on a picturesque .66-acre site designed with privacy in mind.


It's truly an exceptional retreat meticulously manicured welcoming you from a moment's glance with an inviting covered porch and classic farm-style architectural details surrounding the home. Its style evokes feelings of warmth and comfort that are traditional without being fussy, where classic meets urban cottage, and comfortable in a way that makes you want to put your feet up and stay awhile.


Enjoy true farmhouse style finishes in the remarkable living area with 20' ceilings surrounded by incredible shiplap planked ceilings, phenomenal natural light from above, all wrapped in rich planked wood flooring, and clean crisp accents. Expansive atrium doors lead just beyond to an incredible outdoor oasis with a covered patio where summer entertaining is a breeze. Beautifully paved surround offers a phenomenal area for gathering with an open fire pit ready for roasting marshmallows and stargazing.


Superbly appointed kitchen features chef-quality finishes and appliances, well-organized pantry, craftsman style cabinetry, quartz counters, custom tile splash, expansive serving island with oversized farm sink, surrounded by stunning planked wood flooring with a cozy eating area ready for morning retreats!


Convenient main floor office/bedroom #3 offers a warm, intimate space, conducive to quiet reading. The main floor laundry/mudroom provides a substantial yet efficient area for storage with an incredible breezeway with retractable barn-style doors that brilliantly bridge the garage to the home and front porch to rear entertaining areas.


The second level features a gracious suite with simplicity and sophistication, top-of-the-line appointments, a custom-designed dressing closet with retractable barn door, 14' peaked and shiplap planked ceilings, an abundance of natural light, and an atrium door leading to private perch for morning coffee. Bedroom #2 offers generous space, peaked and shiplap planked ceilings, a large closet, and loads of natural light. A stylish loft area makes for a great nest to overlook the great room below and a cozy nook for quiet time to reflect.


Finished lower-level daylight offers plenty of room to entertain with easy access to open-plan areas, spacious bedroom #4, full bath #3, and ample storage.


Additional features include an oversized 2 car garage and easy maintenance professional landscaping with underground sprinklers. Ride, run or walk on miles of trails just beyond your door where schools, shopping, entertainment, community events in The Village of Ada and Cascade are minutes away, and easy access to expressways is just beyond! This residence offers unlimited opportunities in award-winning Forest Hills Schools.


It would be impossible to replicate this home or location with current construction costs. The main level and Foundation Level are estimated from floor plans as Cascade Twp does not have SF for footprint.
