Designated by A2Modern as one of Ann Arbor's most notable Mid-Century Modern residences, this gracious home is a timeless example of the movement's enduring appeal. Its flat roof, cantilevered eaves, and private entry tucked into a breezeway embody the geometric simplicity and strong connection to nature that define the era. Expansive windows and skylights flood the interior with natural light, framing treetop and meadow views. A Florida room with jalousie windows and a full-width balcony create seamless transitions between indoors and out, while landscaped grounds enhance the home's natural hillside setting. In keeping with the owners' commitment to sustainability, the property features a small orchard of fruit trees, raised vegetable gardens and polinator garden. The exceptional property was featured in the 2025 Ann Arbor Farm & Garden Tour.Inside, organic materials including slate tile, cork flooring, and walnut paneling are paired with a dramatic stone fireplace that divides the living and dining rooms, featuring a built-in planter and cantilevered hearth. Cove lighting accents the tall ceilings, while horizontal flow brings warmth and intimacy to the open floor plan. The eat-in kitchen blends stainless steel finishes and high-end appliances with carefully preserved original cabinetry. On the main level, three bedrooms and two baths include a primary suite with treetop views and a renovated bath featuring a level-entry shower, while the third bedroom has been converted into a paneled study. The lower level offers a cozy TV and sitting area, laundry and exercise space, and well-organized storage. One-level living is easily possible by relocating the laundry to the spacious primary closet. Thoughtful renovations have elevated this residence into a net-zero, all-electric retreat powered by a 15kW solar array, a rare union of architectural heritage and sustainable living. At once a faithful restoration and a forward-looking sanctuary, 505 Burson Place offers the elegance of mid-century design harmoniously reimag
