Tucked away on a sheltered cul de sac you'll find this hidden gem, a beautiful ranch home full of surprises and possibilities. Surrounded by almost a quarter acre of mature trees, Norway maples & towering spruces among them, the Trex front porch has a fairytale charm with its turning stair, beautiful white railings & hanging baskets. Stepping inside, the surprisingly spacious great room features a large dining area and family room overlooking the porch through the picture window. Gleaming new luxury vinyl plank flooring and newly painted soft white walls throughout give a unity to the 1st floor. Open the door from the great room to find the two main floor bedrooms with windows looking out into the trees, & full bath with accessible shower. Another door - surprise!- turns out to be a large walk-in pantry/linen storage room. Then there's the alcove next to the bathroom which could be a vanity or bath essentials nook. The kitchen offers new butcher block countertops and new lighting as well as a newer ss fridge with double French doors. Glance to your left and see the large doorwall giving out on to the wonderful Trex deck. From the deck itself, you can see down into the little valley behind the home and a magical view of the woods. What a perfect place to grill on a summer evening... how far back does the property go in those trees? A little exploration may be in order later. Meanwhile someone calls to you to come down and see the full 925 sq ft walkout lower level right away. The finished family room could be anything you want it to be: recreation or theater room, a perfect area for game nights or the kids, and more. Moving on to Bedroom Three: a lovely large egress window looking out on the woods plus roomy closet make this room an office, a bedroom, a music room, a movie room... As you step out of Bedroom Three you see it: another lower level room with closet and egress window-- Bedroom Four?? Or a sewing room, office, workshop- you decide! Meander into the backyard, and realize that this astonishing property has kept one of the best surprises for last. 285 Brookside backs up to the 4+ acres of the Onder Nature Area- your backyard is suddenly infinitely larger! Later you will learn that through Onder, you are connected to parks all over Ann Arbor and beyond, Barton, Argo, Bandemer, Cloverdale, the B2B Trail... with A2 STEAM elementary nearby, and easy access to U-M Hospital, the University itself, downtown Ann Arbor and M-14, you've found it: the perfect home in the perfect location. Come explore for yourself! Home energy score of 5. See report at stream.a2gov.org.
