About this home

Discover an extraordinary architectural triumph along the pristine banks of the Rouge River. Encompassing over 7,200 square feet of meticulously curated living space, this modern estate seamlessly combines grand-scale design, soaring volume, and sophistication. Inside, double-height ceilings and floor-to-ceiling windows flood the bright, open living areas with natural light and dramatic river vistas. The main chef’s kitchen features waterfall quartz countertops, a custom center island, elite integrated appliances, bespoke cabinetry, and luxury fixtures—flowing into an airy formal dining space. A tailored executive home office with custom millwork provides a private workspace. Two staircases—including one conveniently off the main living space—provide seamless access to the upper level. The upper level features an opulent primary suite with a spa-inspired bath, two custom walk-in dressing rooms, a cozy gas fireplace, and a private Juliet balcony. Four additional en-suite bedrooms, a second office or study, and an upper-level laundry suite complete the floor. Designed for multi-level entertaining, the walk-out lower level offers a private retreat with a dedicated fitness space, therapeutic infrared sauna, secondary kitchen, and versatile flex areas for media, games, or social gatherings. Step outside into a resort-style oasis anchored by an infinity-edge saltwater pool with ambient flame bowls and a custom lower-level water feature, a relaxing spa, an outdoor fireplace, and multi-tiered stone terraces. The covered lanai includes automated electronic privacy shades and outdoor heaters, creating an all-season outdoor room overlooking the 285-foot-deep wooded grounds. This isn't just a home—it is a statement of timeless elegance and prestige. BATVAI. All measurements are approximate.

Michigan caps a homeowner's taxable value until the home sells, then it resets. That's about $62,642 a year more than this seller pays. The assessor's state equalized value (SEV) is $1,032,210. Your taxable value resets to the SEV the year after you buy, and assessors usually raise it to about half the sale price. Estimate uses Birmingham's 2025 homestead rate of 38.14 mills and assumes you claim the homestead exemption. See Birmingham's full tax breakdown or run the uncapping calculator.
