    What's special

    Designed in 1937 and lived in by noted Ann Arbor modernist architect George Brigham, this distinctive home pairs sleek, light-filled spaces with thoughtful updates that respect its architectural history. Signature Brigham-designed light fixtures, built-ins, and natural fireplaces preserve its original refined and timeless character, while the flexible layout provides bedrooms, baths, and living space on both levels—well suited to multigenerational living, guests, work-from-home needs, or simply room to spread out. An accessible first-floor suite features a zero-entry shower and floating sink, while the second-floor primary suite creates a restful retreat with en suite, walk in closet and fireplace, plus another light-filled family room with new triple-pane windows and private balcony. Unique corner windows allow unobstructed views of the serene and lovely setting in the heart of Ann Arbor. Home Energy Score of 1. Download report@ stream.a2gov.org. Live within a legend at 515 Oswego! The generous main living room offers space for multiple seating and activity areas. A finished lower level adds a full bath and another bright family room, providing even more versatility. Outside, the spacious fenced yard, paver patio, and 2-level deck offer ample room for gardening, recreation, and entertaining, while the two-car attached garage provides convenient parking and storage. Your front door is just few steps to the Arboretum entrance on Geddes Avenue. A quick walk or bike ride to the South University district or even Main Street and Kerrytown gives easy access to Ann Arbor's marvelous cultural events, University life, and the renowned University of Michigan Hospital. Thoughtfully updated with deep respect for Brigham's original vision, this remarkable home offers the best of modernist architecture, adaptable everyday living, and enduring Ann Arbor character.
