S.332 – William Palmer Residence,

227 Orchard Hills Drive, Ann Arbor, Michigan

 

Video tour (Ann Arbor News)

 

Photographed on January 31, 2010 and July 12, 2009.  Bargain hunters alert!  In 2008 the house was offered for sale, starting at $1.5 million.  The Michigan economy being what it is, the price had dropped to $900,000 by the time it sold in March 2009.  It will be offered as a guest house rental and for corporate events. 

 

A long and winding dirt road takes you through this heavily wooded area.  The house is atop a hill and a bit distant from the road, but if you follow the curve of the street you find yourself right next to the carport, where you get a decent view of the back of the house (shown in the first photo here).  You get a slightly better view in the winter when the trees have lost their leaves, but evergreens still obstruct the view.

This view – up a hill and through the woods – shows how difficult it is to see the house even in winter
