Located in the unique Water Hill area close to the prestigious University of Michigan campus, the charming home features an all-new interior and exterior with touches that make it a hot property for sustainable urban living at its best in this trendy neighborhood.

"HGTV recognized Ann Arbor as a small, friendly town with big-city sophistication and selected the location based on its proximity to the city's most popular restaurants, shops and art galleries, close to schools, community parks and year-round activities," said Ron Feinbaum, General Manager of HGTV Home Promotions.

Decorated by interior designer Brian Patrick Flynn, the approximately 1,500-square-foot, two-level home features two bedrooms and two-and-a-half baths with an open concept living area. HGTV Project Manager Scott Branscom oversaw all the renovations, which included the addition of an entirely new second-floor master suite. Designed by Studio Z and fully renovated by Maven Development, the feel of the home is best described as cozy, comfy and Craftsman-style, tweaked for the modern-day family.

With a fresh take on classic Craftsman colors historically appropriate to the architecture, the home also features handmade elements infused with hip, classic modern and midcentury touches. The light-textured floors offer a perfect backdrop for the home's gray-greens, rich pine tones and tranquil spa-like watery hues. The variety of green shades throughout blend beautifully with the outdoor landscaping, which sets the stage for a massive screened porch and outdoor grilling station. The home is designed and decorated for the lucky winner to enjoy the temperate seasons while staying snug in the winter months.
