This week we are featuring Rob Ewing’s Listing – 3050 Lakeview Drive, Ann Arbor, MI, 48103

Can you describe the architectural style of the home?
Tudor

What distinctive features set this home apart?
The home is a 1930 ‘Chicago’ brick and stone gem. Since the house was constructed around the Great Depression, it features Craftsman style details–this can be seen in the coves and ceilings. This one of a kind home features glass door knobs, stained glass window and doors, wooden archways, and wood floors throughout. It has lots of nooks and crannies and a favorite part of the home is what the family calls the ‘breakfast nook’. It also has a turret in the front that looks like the soldiers could have a place to get ready for battle.

What are the advantages of the location & neighborhood?
The house is in the Lakewood Elementary school district. It is close to everything including great restaurants, movie theatre, all the conveniences for everyday living.

Have there been any recent renovations or upgrades?
The kitchen has been upgraded with granite and tile. New patio pavers have been added to the walkway and the patio, which features a fire pit.

Does the community have any amenities we should know about?
The house is in a great walking community. It is near the beautiful First and Second Sister Lakes and the Dolph Nature Area.

What amazing views will the new homeowner be able to enjoy?
The house is surrounded by tall trees.

Can you tell us a fun fact about the home?
When we were cleaning out the vents we found toy metal soldiers from the 1930’s. Apparently a child decided to put 10 of them down a vent.
Is there anything else you’d like to tell us about the home?
The previous owners have lived in the home for 21 years. Their children grew up there and it seems that the folks who have lived there in the past come back to visit the home. It’s a very special place to live for a very special family.
