About this home
This architect-designed, custom-built ranch sits between the Washtenaw and Packard corridors, offering convenience rarely found at this price point. Located just minutes from shopping and groceries, it provides an easy commute to EMU, Depot Town, and a straight shot into Ann Arbor, with swift access to both US-23 and I-94, plus AAATA bus service running right up the street. Nearby outdoor and recreational amenities include the Mary Lou Murray Rec Center and several golf courses. Designed for effortless single-level living with no stairs and an adaptable floor plan, the layout is ideal for anyone needing two independent spaces under one roof—whether for hosting guests or managing a shared-living arrangement. Key upgrades and interior features include: Flooring & Windows: Australian Cypress flooring spans throughout the home, complemented by custom Renewal by Andersen windows installed in 2021. Kitchen & Baths: The kitchen is equipped with a Reverse Osmosis (RO) water system, while the main bath features a Haven premier jetted walk-out tub. Storage & Utilities: Storage trusses in the attic offer expanded overhead storage space. A new digital water meter installed in June allows residents to track real-time usage directly via the YCUA app. Furnishings: Beds in the home are professionally made and available for purchase separately outside the real estate transaction.

Property taxes for a new owner
The current owner pays about $2,096 a year. A buyer who lives here would pay about $3,509 to $8,790 a year once the taxable value resets after the sale, at the 2025 homestead rate of 63.29 mills for Ypsilanti City and Ypsilanti 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.
