Walk to the village green, downtown and the cider mill. The American Institute of Architects, Michigan, praised the “clever connection between the building, human activity, and the landscape” when they awarded this home and architect / home-owner Betty-lee Hepworth, an Honor Award for its renovation in 1997. From the street this 1950s ranch maintains a low profile indicative of its style. Upon entering, one gazes out through a floor-to-ceiling window over a backyard garden landscaped with native plants. With windows at both the street and rear, natural light fills the first floor drawing the landscape into the house. Walkout lower-level office and recreation area faces the garden with large windows and a French door. Three bedrooms, including primary with large walk-in closet, bath and laundry. Library with fireplace, living room, formal dining and a timeless and beautifully functional kitchen with breakfast room. All construction as well as the cabinetry was completed by Ketelsen contractors. Birmingham schools.
