On the second floor are 4 bedrooms, including an expansive master suite with fireplace, sleeping porch, and bath. The third floor has the 5th and 6th bedrooms, 2 baths, and a library. The property was acquired by a church in 1946, whereupon a building was added as a parsonage. Later, mid-century architect George Brigham designed a large addition to the main house. More recently, the home became a Bed and Breakfast. The "parsonage was transformed with a sitting and 7 bedroom suites, each with a fireplace and bath. The original carriage house became a private guest cottage. In an extraordinary location close to all Ann Arbor has to offer, this historic gem awaits your imagination.
