4380 Michigan Street

Overview

3.01 private acres in the Forest Hills Public Schools district — mostly old-growth woods, cleared and landscaped around the home. Acreage like this is normally a commute. This one is ten minutes from downtown. Storybook white brick, freshly painted. 5,708 sq. ft. across three levels, with natural hickory floors throughout the main and upper levels, including the staircase. A dual gas fireplace anchors both the living room and primary bedroom, with a window onto a red-leaved Japanese maple. Kitchen: white granite, Miele 36-inch induction cooktop, built-in beverage center, cabinetry to the ceiling, custom-glide racks. Primary bath: radiant heated floors, walk-in rain shower, wooded view from the tub. Two patios — one under the maple, one off the walk-out lower level. Three-car garage. Multi-zone HVAC 2023. Public water and sewer — unusual on acreage this size. Not a house competing for attention on a crowded street — a private retreat, nearly invisible from the road.
