About this home
Designed by architect Mark Steele, this distinctive contemporary rests at the end of a private lane on 1.06 wooded acres in Franklin. Expansive windows frame the surrounding trees, while curved entry steps, varied ceiling heights and an upper overlook create changing perspectives throughout the interior. Recessed dark shadow reveals define architectural edges in place of conventional trim, and custom built-ins provide a thoughtful setting for art, books and treasured objects. The first-floor layout lends itself beautifully to entertaining. The expansive great room with fireplace accommodates larger gatherings while offering inviting places for conversation. The kitchen’s triangular island and overhead glazing continue the home’s geometric expression, while the updated adjoining living space offers a comfortable place to gather, unwind and enjoy the wooded views. Upstairs, an office/library with fireplace overlooks the living space, creating a distinctive retreat for reading or working from home, with potential to explore a fourth-bedroom conversion. Three bedrooms, an updated primary bathroom, generous closet storage and three full baths plus a powder room support everyday living. The finished lower level provides additional gathering space. A Generac generator supplies backup power to approximately 75% of the home. The wooded backyard awaits your vision for an outdoor oasis, with posts remaining from the former deck offering a starting point to explore. A two-car attached garage and Birmingham schools complete the offering. Here, wooded privacy and individual architectural character come together with the charm of Franklin Village and access to Metro Detroit’s dining, arts and cultural destinations. Property is accessed via a private drive connecting to Scenic Lane. Recorded easement documents are available in MLS Docs.

How it compares in Franklin
Over the last 90 days, 16 homes sold in Franklin for a median of $788,750, about $233 per square foot, and the typical one went under contract in 20 days. This home is listed at $950,000, or $235 per square foot, about the same as the city median, and has been on the market 13 days. Size, condition, updates and the exact street all move the number, so treat this as context. See recent Franklin sales or ask us for the comparable sales on this one.
Property taxes for a new owner
The current owner pays about $10,677 a year. A buyer who lives here would pay about $10,755 to $16,857 a year once the taxable value resets after the sale, at the 2025 homestead rate of 35.14 mills for Village Of Franklin and Birmingham schools, plus the 1% administration fee. Michigan resets a home's taxable value the year after it sells, so the seller's bill isn't a good number to budget with. See the math.
