Waterfall, pools highlight extravagant features of this $1.9M Ann Arbor home – MLive.com

ANN ARBOR, MI It doesnt take long to understand why realtor Matt Dejanovich calls the patio and entertaining space at 2997 Devonshire Road the most expansive hes ever seen in Ann Arbor.

The fenced-in patio area sets the tone with a heated main pool, 90,000-gallon connected pond, waterfall and stone grotto for the recently renovated home built by noted Ann Arbor builder Henry Landau as his personal residence. A 90-foot-long granite terrace overlooks the pool area one story above, with access to a built-in hot tub.

Theyre easily the finest residential pools Ive ever seen, said Dejanovich, a real estate agent for Real Estate One. The pools are nicer than most resort hotels.

Listed at $1.995 million, the 7,900 square-foot brick contemporary home in the desirable Ann Arbor Hills neighborhood features 5 bedrooms and 4.5 bathrooms on a 2-acre site that includes a second parcel available for additional building overlooking Gallup Park.

Making the patio area the standout feature of the home was a long time in the making, Dejanovich said. After it was sold by Landau, the next owner made it his mission to build the patio and add-ons by hauling in large, specialized rocks.

The vision was never fully realized by that owner, Dejanovich said, but was renewed by its next owners who worked over the next five years to complete the pools, which had been abandoned.

With so many outdoor amenities, Dejanovich said the last two owners of the home were able to use the space for entertaining and other charitable benefits.

Its the perfect house for that kind of lifestyle, he said. Its spacious and dramatic and really unlike most other houses you see in the greater Ann Arbor area.

Beyond the standout patio area, the home features plenty of additional entertainment options including a billiards room, sauna, wine cellar and exercise room, Dejanovich said.

The home itself is an architectural gem, Dejanovich said, with a grand foyer and Art-Deco inspired stair rail greeting guests. The living room features an 18-foot ceiling, massive fireplace - one of three in the house - and a wall of glass overlooking the pool.

The kitchen features professional grade appliances, cherry cabinets and granite counter tops all overlooking the outdoor terrace area with floor-to-ceiling windows.

The upper level of the home includes a master suite with a dressing area, walk-in closets and a master bathroom, as well as a second bedroom suite with a full bathroom.

The homes finished walkout lower level includes two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a recreation room, wine cellar, billiards and sauna. Additionally, Dejanovich said the home is a dream for those looking extensive storage space, with a second garage located underneath the patio with space for several more vehicles, in addition to an attached garage on its main level.

Its a unique setup, he said. That space could be used for many different possibilities, in terms of hobbies.
