About this property

Ann Arbor 1927 Urban Bungalow in Waterhill! Walking distance to Everything!

Relax in a charming, quaint Colonial Revival bungalow. This cozy home is a 1923-design (built in 1927) Sears and Roebuck kit home, and the design is called the Betsy Ross. The home is 900+ square feet (1200 including basement living space), with lots of windows and light, and it is very peaceful and comfortable. It has been fully refreshed, but the original character was kept and fills the entire home. The rooms are well appointed and very comfortable, with all the modern amenities. Come walk back in time and enjoy Ann Arbor!

The pictures are a very good illustration of the space. It is true to the original design, open, and very efficiently laid out. Its quaintness will make you feel very comfortable, and everything but the laundry is on the main floor.

The main floor has your primary living space, kitchen and dining alcove, full bath, and two bedrooms with queen beds.

The basement is a walkout to the lower patio, and it contains the laundry area and a separate living space (Fan Cave), with a queen pullout (for guests 5 and 6), half bath, and a streaming TV.

The deck off the kitchen and the lower patio out back really extend the living space. The deck has a nice gas grill and seating for six.

A level 2 240V J1772 EV charger and 30 amp RV charger are available for an added fee, if requested prior to arrival. Parking and access is limited to a vehicle up to 24 feet long.

The beautiful space, ease of early check-in and late checkout, history of the home, very comfortable appointments, and close proximity to downtown make this a very wonderful place to stay.

Guests will have access to the entire home and outside areas. A personal code will be provided to each guest, one of their choosing to ensure safety.

Guests may check-in as early as 10am, and checkout as late as 8pm. This takes the stress off of arrival and departure.

The home is walkable, has parking, and is very close to multiple bus lines. Plus, Uber and Lyft are very abundant in the area.

The Ann Arbor train station is also a close 10 minute walk, and allows easy access for anyone arriving from Chicago and west.

If you are coming from Detroit, the D2A2 bus line runs every 1 to 2 hours each day.

If a 30 amp or EV connection is desired, this must be communicated to the host prior to arrival.

We live next door, but travel frequently. Either we or our family (that lives across the street) can be available in an emergency. We communicate by email, cell phone and text, and through the app, whichever our guests prefer.

The house was fully refreshed, with refinished floors, new paint and furniture, and new appliances and housewares. Guests will enjoy the new amenities mixed with the original design's charms.

The Waterhill neighborhood is full of original Ann Arbor character, and it is just across the railroad tracks that run through the city, abutting Kerrytown. Like the neighborhood, the Bungalow sits near the tracks (about 100 yards away) so you can enjoy the trains that continue to roll through Ann Arbor, the whistles and the rumble of the train cars. (The trains run right through the city, and you can hear them whistle for quite a ways. Many people love it, and some don't. If it bothers you, you should stay farther from the city center).
