One of the finest homes you'll see this close to Ann Arbor, yet with Scio Township taxes. Gently carved from an old forest alongside the nearby Scio Church Woods and conservation nature preserves, this contemporary home offers privacy and serenity from the daily bustle. An age-in-place house plan was architecturally designed for comfortable daily living and entertaining, and built by Robin Cook & Co. Volume ceilings give this home an even larger feel than the 4000+sf above grade, plus another 3000+sf in the finished daylight lower level with 8'8'' ceiling and 3 floor-to-ceiling glass patio doors. A huge cook's kitchen is the heart of the home, with a spacious breakfast nook, great room, and butler's pantry/dining room radiating around the kitchen. A south facing three-season sunroom with skylights and gas fireplace overlooks the backyard and woods beyond, and gives the feel of being right there with nature. The main-floor primary bedroom suite offers a spacious main bath with all of the bells and whistles. Upstairs was designed for possible live-in assistance, nanny, or adult child independent suite with a bedroom, bath, and (unfinished but plumbed) future kitchen area. The lower level is finished with a full bath, another (unfinished but plumbed) future kitchen area and an open entertaining area. An attached 2+ car garage for your daily vehicles, plus a detached 2+ car garage for your toys or workshop. Geothermal HVAC and a whole-house standby (propane) generator assures your comfort year-round. Don't miss this chance to see what 3835 Hawk Crest offers!
