Property Description

Welcome to 1046 Cresenwood Rd., Chesterfield Hills, East Lansing! For 30 years the sellers loved and cared for this amazing gem! In 2004 they began to look around for larger home in East Lansing for their growing family. But they couldn't find anything to rival the neighborhood: lovely curving streets, mature trees, beautiful homes, a feeling of community, a 10-minute walk to campus and adjacent to a park! The sellers elected to stay and began 10 years of renovations. Their design team was careful to preserve the elements from 1926, while expertly adding a fabulous great room, a primary suite oasis, an island kitchen and a custom in-home office. Heating and cooling was engineered for maximum efficiency and comfort, and no expense was spare in the selection of materials. As the family grew, rooms changed purpose to fit the age of children and adult pursuits. The living room became the music room with a grand piano, the sunroom off the kitchen started as a child's playroom, morphed into an art room for kids and was most recently used as reading room. The family room was the scene of big kids slumber party and large adult gatherings that spilled out onto the custom deck. The first floor bedroom with half bath was an in-home office, a guest room and later became the TV room. The primary suite was and remains a secluded peaceful retreat!
