Highlights |

  • It is a quintessential Mid-Century Modern – the home was completed in 1958.

  • The house is a subtle show piece - the linearity of the curb view exudes design maturity and simplicity at its finest.

  • The numerous patio doors and large windows bring the outside in – regardless of whether you are enjoying breakfast in the dining room or relaxing in the living room.

  • The layout and flow of the main level is open concept – with each space feeling private, yet unrestricted when moving throughout the home.

  • The chef-worthy kitchen is an unexpected gem of the house - the St Charles Cabinetry and Stainless Countertops balance commercial utility perfectly with the organizational cleverness and colorful joviality that most kitchens can only dream of providing. The ceramic cooktop continues the appearance of cleanliness and uninterrupted linearity through the kitchen; the vent above is modern and powerful making the cooking experience enjoyable for all in the house. The dishwasher is quick and effective, flanking the sink with a pull-out trashcan making the layout extremely convenient. There is an amazing amount of well-thought-out storage within the cabinets – which means the kitchen always looks neat and you always have access to everything you need.

  • The house is incredibly well built, while exercising cutting-edge efficiencies of post-and-beam introduced in the Mid-Fifties. The massive old-growth Fir wooden beams, visible in the Master Bedroom and at both ends of the gable roof are a striking feature and one that would be exceedingly difficult to obtain in a new home. The cork and linoleum flooring on the main level facilitates ease of living and guaranteed cleanliness while boasting the fact of being natural materials.

  • The quiet setting of Holly Hill Farms welcomes wildlife to frequent the subdivision. The nightly quiet hooting of Eastern Screech owls are a sign of a thriving local ecosystem.

Recognition & Awards |

  • In 1961, “Plan 3106” of Holly Hill Farms (an adjacent, Holly Lake-facing home) was featured in Better Homes and Gardens.

  • TIME Magazine named Farmington Hills as the best place to live in Michigan.

  • Holly Hill Farms received a Beautification Award from the City of Farmington Hills.
