Set deep on a nearly 2-acre lot, surrounded by thriving sugar maple and black walnut trees and a verdant rolling lawn, is Michigan settler Samuel White’s Greek Revival farmhouse, built around 1840. For the past 57 years, a historian, landscape architect, and arborist has, together with his family, been the most recent steward of this storied land. Today, drive across the crackle of a gravel driveway, past a Colonial-style split rail fence to a rare oasis from the hustle of modern life. Sit on the wrap-around brick patio and take in the shade of mature hardwoods, lush evergreens, stunning perennial gardens, and the spring-fed creek that is nearby—all home to the calls of purple finches, pileated woodpeckers, and red-winged black birds. Inside, this historic home includes a cast-iron, Cawley LeMay wood burning stove; oak and walnut timbers; tulip poplar woodwork; and maple floors. A discrete office addition includes an exposed brick wall, and wood floors that were salvaged from Detroit’s Greenfield Village. This one-of-a-kind property is walking distance from Thornton Creek Elementary and the Novi Public Library; and just two miles from historic downtown Northville. While this homestead includes a historic marker, it does not include historic protection. Purchase this legacy property to protect it, or to make this stunning piece of land your own.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
