Craftsman Devoured By Luxurious Modern Addition Asks $849,900

PLEASANT RIDGE, MI -- If a craftsman bungalow got eaten by a contemporary house, you'd wind up this home: a 4700 square foot amalgam of the best of old and new. The kitchen in this house takes center stage, even from outside, and it anchors an expansive remodel that doubled the existing living space. There's a 2-story wall of glass behind the stove and counter, with an utterly unique range hood. The state-of-the-art kitchen also features professional grade appliances and has four dishwashers and four ovens, between a stainless steel commercial range and two wall ovens.

The counters are 200 square feet of leathered granite. The 26-foot floor-to-ceiling windows make this a very bright space, where you might enjoy lunch at the granite breakfast bar that rises a foot above the space's large center island. If four ovens, four dishwashers and 200 feet of counters aren't enough, there's also a full catering kitchen off the formal dining room, which also has granite counters and stainless steel appliances.

While it's a little hard to see the original 1911 craftsman bungalow inside, there's a formal front parlor that retains the early 20th century charm with leaded glass doors and a period fireplace with a custom tile surround. This is a house that lends itself equally well to work at play. There's a large 2nd floor office with a 270-degree view of the home's estate-sized lot, while the master suite is a true getaway with floor-to-ceiling windows, bamboo floors and an en suite bath with a walk-in closet and a massive steam shower.

To make family life easier, there are laundry rooms on both floors, a central vac and the house is wired for audio, video and home automation. The back patio has built-in custom furniture, and there's a large water feature anchored by a modern sculpture, too.
