Once a designer’s showhouse, an Oakland Township colonial-style home that’s still a showstopper is up for sale. This stunning estate, located at 5566 Orchard Ridge Drive in a gated community near Dutton and Brewster Roads, is listed by Nicholas Asplund, an associate broker with Lux Partners Global and @properties/Christie’s International Real Estate in Grosse Pointe Farms. The property boasts more than 4 acres of land, an infinity-edge pool with a floating fire bowl, and manicured, European-inspired gardens that make it a real standout in the area.
The brick, 7,000-square-foot home features six bedrooms, five bathrooms, and a half bath, offering luxury living at its finest. Built in 2000, the home is a true masterpiece with sophisticated and elegant appointments, finishes, and fixtures throughout. The great room is reminiscent of a scene from Disney’s „Beauty and the Beast,“ while a mural painted by local artist Gregg Bugula adds a unique touch to the living room.
One of the highlights of the home is the custom primary bedroom with his-and-hers walk-in closets, providing ample storage space. The finished lower level offers walk-out access to the gardens, a second kitchen, a bar, a billiards room, and a full bedroom and bathroom, perfect for entertaining guests.
Outside, the estate’s expansive 4-acre lot ensures privacy and serenity, a rare find in the area. The gardens, inspired by the owners‘ travels to Europe, were designed by R. Youngblood & Co., creating a resort-like atmosphere in the backyard. The infinity-edge gunite pool with a spa and floating fire bowl, designed by Anderson Custom Pools, adds to the luxurious feel of the property.
The Gethsemene Bluestone Terrace and Garden, along with the upper and lower patios overlooking the gardens, provide the perfect setting for outdoor relaxation and entertainment. The wrought iron gates and fencing around the yard, created by local artists from Cranbrook, add a touch of elegance to the property.
In addition, the home features an attached six-car garage with a full guest suite above it, offering convenience and additional living space. With its exceptional design and amenities, it’s no wonder that this estate has received numerous accolades and design awards over the years.
