The space
Exceptionally beautiful, 2,500 sq ft, Tribeca-style loft located in the heart of Ann Arbor and housed in an iconic and beloved historic building circa 1881.

This elegant, art-filled space has an open-plan on the first floor from living room to dining area to gourmet kitchen. Organic textures and neutral tones create a seamless flow. Pools of light stream through 21 windows with city views, a dramatic 20-foot ceiling, turret nook, and stretches of exposed brick. Clean lines make for an altogether sophisticated, cool aesthetic.

A stunning private roof deck with seating offers panoramic views of skyline vistas, the world-class Literati Bookstore with its “poetry wall”, and the best restaurants, bars, and coffee shops in Ann Arbor.

On the first floor, tucked behind the living area, there are two full bathrooms, and two en-suite bedrooms with queen-sized beds, “The Map Room,” and “The Master Puzzler.” Each room infuses glamor with a touch of whimsy. On the private second floor, the deck and den offer North, South, West exposures along with a fold-down queen bed. This den/third bedroom is everybody’s favorite paradise retreat.

Other things to note
There is plenty of floor space for additional air mattresses if need be. Children are welcome (Ann Arbor’s Hands on Museum is the next block over). Convenient lot parking exists immediately across the street. Fresh towels, linens and soap provided. The loft is accessed by walking up a flight of stairs (there is no elevator, it is a historic building.) Being in the very heart of Ann Arbor, there will be some noise on the street outside.

Neighborhood highlights

The Big House is a mile walk away. There are four large flat-screen televisions, one directly off the pergola-covered rooftop deck. You can watch the game while you enjoy the view, take in Autumn air, and hear the stadium roar from the deck.

For the Athlete, the area provides excellent running paths including the Arboretum, community bike rentals directly on the street below, seasonal kayaking or picnicking on the banks of the Huron River, and a wonderful pilates studio right next door. Large nearby parks for your pickup football games.

For the Art Lover, The Turret contains original paintings, mosaics, collages by national and international artists as well as furniture by Saarinen and Mies van der Rohe. It is a short walk to the University of Michigan Art Museum or The Michigan Theatre with its old-fashioned Barton organ and marvelous film program. There are seven independent bookstores in a three to four block radius. The Turret is the home to a film producer and alum who encourages everyone to attend the exceptional performing arts at Hill Auditorium, the Ark, Power Center, or enjoy a show by the phenomenal students in the University of Michigan’s Musical Theatre Department.

For the Family Foodie, there are two ovens, including a Wolf range, and a Parisian-style, zinc wine bar island. Kerrytown, The People’s Coop, The Tea Haus, and Zingerman’s are a few steps for those who want to source the best and freshest ingredients. Area farmers share their organic, farm-to-table bounty twice a week at the Ann Arbor Farmer’s Market. But if you don’t feel like cooking, we welcome personal chefs in the professional kitchen.

The cow weather vane on The Turret honors the history of the building’s first two occupants. Two doors down there is a placard commemorating the original site of the University of Michigan first graduation. Rumor has it, if enough people touch it on the day of a game, Harbaugh’s men win. Try it and see!
