About this home

Set on more than two acres of rolling lawn beneath mature oak trees, this custom Chizek-built home feels like a private retreat, complete with deeded access to Lehman Lake reached by a wooded pathway reminiscent of an English garden. A beautifully designed entrance garden and updated front porch welcome you inside, where 10-foot ceilings, oversized windows and doorwalls fill the main level with natural light. New wood flooring flows through the entry, kitchen and living room, where updated lighting and a wood-burning fireplace create a warm, inviting gathering space. The kitchen features rich cherry cabinetry, granite countertops, a large breakfast bar and updated lighting, while the window-wrapped dining nook offers a peaceful spot for everyday meals. A first-floor office/den and remodeled half bath add flexibility and function. Step outside to the expansive three-level composite deck, newly installed in 2024, with plenty of space for dining, entertaining or simply enjoying the wooded surroundings. Upstairs, laminate flooring continues through the staircase and second floor, where four generously sized bedrooms feature cathedral ceilings and distinctive moon windows. The spacious primary suite offers its own private balcony, walk-in closet and remodeled en-suite bath with a soaking tub and two sinks. The upstairs hallway full bath has also been beautifully remodeled. The finished walk-out lower level adds even more living space with an additional bedroom, full bath, built-in bookshelves and plenty of room for recreation, guests or a separate work-from-home space. Thoughtfully updated while retaining its distinctive custom character, this Chelsea home offers a rare combination of acreage, privacy and generous indoor and outdoor living space, all with convenient access to I-94.

The facts

Property taxes: the seller's bill vs. yours

Michigan caps a homeowner's taxable value until the home sells, then it resets. That's about $2,307 a year more than this seller pays. The assessor's state equalized value (SEV) is $327,300. 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 Sylvan Township's 2025 homestead rate of 34.79 mills and assumes you claim the homestead exemption. See Sylvan Township's full tax breakdown or run the uncapping calculator.
