Ferndale, Michigan 48220

Prime location, exceptional craftsmanship, outstanding space, & lovingly maintained. This English Tudor style Colonial home is on the dead-end block of W. Oakridge in the Northwest part of the dynamic City of Ferndale. The quality & attention to detail in the upgrading and remodeling of this beautiful home is a reflection of its owner, who is an architect. Upon approach, one notices the brick and paver Plaza, leading to the custom designed front porch w/accent brick pieces & matching brick work. The pavers create a pattern that continues around 2/3 of the home creating an easy pathway around the garage to the fountain & BBQ area, then up to the Trex deck for relaxing, forward into the breakfast room, or onward to the door wall into the four seasons room. The vestibule entry has a great closet & leaded glass accents. The expansive living room is stunning, w/oversized, high-end windows, custom lighting, & original fireplace (gas) for cool evenings. The oak hardwood floors extend from the living room into the formal dining room, & upstairs to the hall & all 3 bedrooms! From the formal dining room, one enters the stepdown four seasons room, w/ slate floors, exposed brick & door wall. There is a convenient 1st floor lav. The renovated kitchen rises to a higher standard w/Sub-Zero & Wolfe appliances, Bluetooth speakers, beautiful cabinetry, & a custom breakfast table (matches the counters!), The 2nd floor offers 3 bedrooms, a classic black & white tiled full bathroom, & the best surprise of all, a year round sitting room that offers an expansive view of the lush perennial gardens (forsythia, weeping cherry, dogwood, yew, holly, & myrtle). The lower level features a curved half wall separating the laundry from the rest of the space. There is a living area, large cedar closet, workroom, & lots of storage. Rare 2 car att. garage allows full use of the back yard, & direct house entry. There is so much here to love. Amazing community + an outstanding property = 815 W. Oakridge
