Overview

Here we have for you a beautiful home. In the highly coveted Northwood subdivision, this classic two-story colonial pairs strong neighborhood heritage with an exceptional artistic background. The property is owned and shaped by creative professionals, the Chief concept designer for General Motors and a very beloved local potter, leaving behind a home defined by authentic craftsmanship, character, and practical utility. Curb appeal is immediate and striking, featuring balanced traditional architecture, mature landscaping, and newer windows that bring consistent natural light inside. Hardwood floors extend across the main level. The large living room is anchored by a spectacular natural fireplace, creating a focal point for the space. Adjacent to the living room, a formal dining room accommodates dinner parties, while the eat-in kitchen offers functional everyday convenience. A first-floor half bath and a fully enclosed four-season room round out the main level. This enclosed porch provides a quiet, weather-protected view of the backyard across every season. The second floor contains three nicely sized bedrooms and a full bathroom featuring its original moss-green tilework, preserving a distinct vintage aesthetic and charm. The standout assets of the property are found just outside the main living quarters. The detached garage features a finished second-floor workshop complete with water service, a wash tub, and a 220 electric-line. This space served for years as a working pottery studio and creative workspace for professional makers. Below the main foundation, the basement features an internal greenhouse that is a one of a kind architectural wonder, creating a functional, climate-controlled environment for year-round plant cultivation. Combining solid colonial construction, newer windows, hardwood floors, and a rare creative provenance, this Northwood residence offers a distinctive and grounded living experience in a premier Michigan neighborhood.
