ROCHESTER HILLS, MI -- This estate, set on 3.56 acres on Stony Creek, was built in 1974 in classic English style, and includes pieces scavenged from historical estates and grand English halls like the Earl of Sepan Castle. You won't see this house from the street. Instead, you'll motor down a tree-lined private road and enter through a gate leading to the motor court. Inside, there's a grand entryway with a stair leading up to a rotunda. There are living rooms galore, each with a fireplace, beamed ceilings, hardwood floors, and enough leaded glass throughout the house to outfit a minor cathedral.
On the second level, there's a full glass room with a vaulted ceiling - like a greenhouse in the sky, if the only thing growing there was a massive hot tub. The master bedroom has an office nook with leaded glass windows and a full stage and built-in canopy for the bed. The house offers over 8700 square feet of living space, including two full kitchens, and there's also a finished daylight lower level with a recreation room, wet bar, billiard room, full bath and exercise space. A separate 3500-square foot building on the property offers endless possibilities - it could be a caretaker's apartment, a guest house, or even the man cave to end all man caves. If you're seriously considering this house, but aren't quite sure, take if for a test drive: the home is available for lease $8500 a month.
