SELLER SAYS

We moved to Dexter within six months of coming to the Ann Arbor area. We like small towns. When our first house became too small we decided to build in Dexter. By building only a mile from town we were close enough to make those quick trips to our daughters swim or music practice or to Busch’s for groceries. Yet we still have the benefits of living in the “country”. It is quiet and peaceful. We have neighbors but they are not right next door. Deer in the backyard are common, but we have also seen turkeys, raccoons, foxes, coyotes, rabbits and a stray squirrel or wood chuck. Not bad for being a mile from town.

There are many pub and pizza options in Dexter, plus there are many restaurants nearby on Jackson Rd. However,our favorite place is the Red Brick in Dexter. It’s not to pricy and we’ve never had a bad meal there.

Busch’s grocery store in Dexter has everything you could want. They are also supportive of community events.

Our house is close to town but out in the country. We wanted this as opposed to houses that were all similar in a big subdivision. It is very quiet and peaceful. We like the 1.3 acre size lot. There is a lot of potential if you like to landscape or garden.

Dexter has a small town atmosphere. The people are very friendly. If you move to Dexter we’d recommend becoming involved in the community through volunteer organizations like the Lion’s club or a church. It’s a great way to meet the people who grew up here and a chance for you to become a part of Dexter. We did not want to be people who looked at Dexter only as a place to come and sleep for the night but as a place to become a part of. Also the schools are top notch. Both our daughters started here in 1st grade and are now in graduate school at State. The school programs are terrific – we’d recommend the Orchestra Program.

Come and enjoy the seasons. In the fall Dexter schools start up and there are festivals like Apple days. In the winter we are close to Huron River drive. This road is one of the first plowed after a snow storm. In the spring the 21 lilac bushes we planted are all in bloom. And in the summer everything is green and its time to go fishing.

We love being close to the lakes (Pinckney recreation area) and the Metro parks. There is fishing (both summer and winter), swimming and biking. You can even see the fireworks from our house at Hudson Mills over the trees to the north.

Our utility costs are average for a house of this size.

This beautiful custom built home is in pristine condition and boasts golf course views. There are many lovely details within this property from the two story foyer, to the formal dining area and large living room. This is a cook’s kitchen with abundant cabinetry, stainless appliances and lots of counter space. The master suite is a true retreat where owners can relax in the master bedroom and enjoy the spacious master bathroom which features dual vanities, soaking tub and separate shower. The additional bedrooms are generously sized with carpeting and large windows.

Enjoy time on the large deck watching the golfers play through or admiring the views. The professionally landscaped lot is a premium setting for enjoying warm summer days. The lakes, wildlife and serene setting are a must see!

SELLER SAYS

With the Golf Course just beyond the back fence we have literally golfed for days on end!

The neighborhood is intimate and professional with everyone easily commuting to their careers in Ann Arbor, Livonia, and Jackson. It is so close, and yet so Country, only forty-five miles from the front door to Metro Airport!

Although set upon the top of an old Ski Hill in the original Irish Hills area, Consumers Energy gas and electric, Comcast services, public sewers and curbside trash pickup provide all of the comforts of the suburbs! The School Bus comes right to the neighbor’s driveway, and grocery shopping is only seven minutes away.

The community is so safe and friendly than we plan to never leave the area.

Community Bonfires, Pool Parties, Sports outings, and helping each other are the norm! What we will miss the most are the great neighbors at Harrington Place!

The Irish Hills area offers a variety of nearby dining options from Seafood specialties to lakefront pubs, cozy breakfast nooks, coffee Bistros in quaint downtown Brooklyn, and even a Harley Davidson themed “good time” place!

The full size, and somewhat upscale Country Market grocery store is seven minutes away in Brooklyn. Smaller, family stores are scattered throughout the area, with one as close as the entrance to Hayes State Park just down the hill! The big chain establishments are as close as twenty minutes away in Adrian, Jackson and Saline.

We had looked at more than twenty homes in the price range and remained largely uninspired until we entered this one. When we first walked into this house it took our breath away…The view of the beautiful Irish Hills valley beyond the backyard was only matched by the high ceilings and huge overhead loft Family Room.

Because this was a Parade of Homes house, meticulously built to showcase the Builder’s talents, it came with all of the amenities.

With the main floor Master Suite and upper level Bedrooms and Bath we found the perfect combination for cozy nights with just the two of us, or for comfortably entertaining groups of overnight guests. This is a great Party House for all seasons. The upper and lower Gas Log Fireplaces are each controlled by their own thermostat, and kept us cozy and warm during an Ice Storm power outage the first winter. The spacious basement level has spoiled us with the gym and walking area as well as the workshop and storage room that we refer to as the Wine Cellar.

We lived in the Irish Hills before, and could not wait to come back when our careers allowed. Where else can you surround yourself with lakes, wildlife, and solitude only one hour from the city?

Suburban people who have never ventured to the Irish Hills area will be amazed at the comforts, safety, friendliness, affordability, and easy commuting that life provides here!

Golfing is just beyond the backyard; we are surrounded by over fifty sparkling lakes-some within shouting distance; Michigan International Speedway is four minutes away; the Wolverines thirty minutes and the Tigers and Lions an hour distant! The Kayak rests on the Garage wall and we love our MIS Champion’s Club tickets!

The current Consumer’s Energy monthly Budget Plan (Natural gas and electric) is $245. Public Sewer and Allied Waste are about $30 each per month. Underground Comcast cable is installed in the subdivision.

SELLER SAYS

Dexter is the kind of town that everyone looks for to raise their family. People walk on the sidewalks, talk in the Dairy Queen line, watch high school sports.

It is a home town of home towns.

My house is in the central business district proper. It is one of the last places where you can walk to the store, walk to the school, and feel the atmosphere of living in a small town.

I’m a basic restaurant kind of person so my favorite is the Lighthouse Cafe but there are many dining opportunities in Dexter. You could eat out every night at a different place enjoying everything from Pizza to white table cloths.

Busch’s though I was sad when they moved out of downtown. I’m waiting for the day when a small specialty grocery opens. Still, a 5 min drive isn’t too far.

I used the property for a second home and medical office so the location directly across from the post office drew me. I love the old style house and though the fact that there is only one bathroom is not up to modern standards it is a great place for a home office. The foot traffic is constant and everyone in town knows this house. While the small town aspect provides privacy this is a great location to do a small business, in home or not.

Hometown values and feeling. This is not the hustle bustle of a big city. Yet AA is just a view minutes away. Good schools, and a great place to grow up. Having lived in other locations now I truly respect what the midwest and Dexter have to offer to a growing family.

This property took a big hit in the market crash, Dexter did too. But Dexter is a solid place and the market here will come back quickly when it does. AA is a market where sellers are getting more than they are asking. Soon that will be the situation in Dexter. I wish I could hang on to the house for another few years.

Fishing, mountain biking, hunting, sailing, boating, you name it, it is in Wash co.

Gas and electric come on the same bill. I insulated under the kitchen and that improved the bills and made it very unlikely that any pipe would freeze even when it is very cold. The bills vary a lot from summer to winter of course since there isn’t central air. The house stayed pretty cool when I kept the doors closed on hot days and a single small window unit was all it needed. Average for the year about 110 to 120/mo gas and elect.
