Huron River, Estate of the Day

Filed under: Estates

Today's home is a little bit trapped in its decade of origin. This 1980s contemporary on 4.68 acres in Ann Arbor, Michigan has a boardwalk path to 369' of Huron River frontage. The angular home was designed to showcase its views and has multiple decks and patios. The five-bedroom homes most striking feature is its indoor pool area. It has windows, skylights and lots of natural woodwork. While the kitchen has been updated with new appliances and granite countertops, it looks like other rooms are still back in the 1980s. The home is surrounded by landscaping by award-winning gardener John Cullen of Celtic Gardens. This home is listed at $2.95 million.

Zingerman's Bakehouse Wins Readers' Choice Award for Best Bread Bakery

Zingerman's Bakehouse of Ann Arbor, Michigan, is the Readers' Choice Winner in the Best Bread Bakery category. Zingerman's is one of the 'younger' nominees, having just come into existence in 1992 as a way for the Zingerman's Deli to have their own freshly baked bread. First there was bread (1992), then there were pastries (1994), and eventually a retail shop opened (1996). Today the Bakehouse is comprised of a group of 130 dedicated foodies and skilled artisan bakers that use traditional methods to hand make all of their breads and sweets and sell to over 100 wholesale customers in addition to a growing crowd of retail shoppers.

Zingerman's Bakehouse prides itself on being run by regular people that simply love to bake, and love to share their baked goods with others. And when it comes to sharing they don't stop at simply selling bread, in 2006 Zingerman's launched BAKE!, a hands-on teaching bakery where experts and newbies alike can learn to make their own scrumptious breads, pastries, and cakes at home.

Zingerman's Bakehouse goods can be found in their in-house shop or in any number of retail locations and restaurants (only in Michigan), or you can buy most everything online through Zingerman's Mail Order.
