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.
