Once a designer’s showhouse, an Oakland Township colonial-style home that’s still a showstopper is up for sale. The 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. With more than 4 acres of land, an infinity-edge pool with a floating fire bowl, and manicured, European-inspired gardens, this property is truly breathtaking.
The brick, 7,000-square-foot home boasts six bedrooms, five bathrooms, and a half bath. Built in 2000, it is the epitome of luxury living. The circular driveway with a water fountain sets the tone for the sophisticated and elegant appointments, finishes, and fixtures found throughout the home. 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. 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. The attached six-car garage includes a full guest suite above it, providing ample space for visitors.
The estate’s more than 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. The backyard, designed to resemble Italian and French estates, feels like a resort with its infinity-edge gunite pool, spa, floating fire bowl, Gethsemene Bluestone Terrace and Garden, and upper and lower patios overlooking the gardens. The wrought iron gates and fencing around the yard were created by local artists from Cranbrook, adding to the property’s charm.
The home has received numerous accolades and design awards, including being featured in Suite Dreams Project Magazine, Hour Magazine, and the Woman’s National Farm and Garden Association. Its sought-after location in the Orchard Ridge community near downtown Rochester makes it a desirable property for those seeking luxury living in a beautiful setting.
