Property Description
Welcome to 519 5th Street, ideally located in Ann Arbor’s sought-after Old West Side, just steps from Bach Elementary and Jefferson Market. This beautifully updated 3 bedroom, 1.5 bath home blends timeless character with thoughtful, high-quality improvements designed for modern living and long-term peace of mind. Extensive system upgrades set this home apart, including the complete replacement of original knob and tube wiring with modern Romex and a newly installed 1.5-inch copper main water line from the street. The water line project also included full city connection and driveway cement replacement, reflecting the care and investment throughout the property. Inside, the home offers a warm and inviting layout with a beautifully remodeled kitchen featuring stainless steel appliances and functional design. A convenient main level powder room adds everyday ease, while attic insulation enhances energy efficiency. The wood-burning fireplace serves as a charming and functional focal point, perfect for cozy Michigan winters. The lower level has been significantly improved with new basement stairs and side entry access, three replacement windows, and a proper egress window with a timber well, expanding both safety and usability. The fireplace has also been fully serviced with updated chimney flashing, mortar repair, and a new steel liner with stove insert for added efficiency. Outdoor living is equally appealing with a spacious backyard, patio area, and an 8 x 12 garden shed, offering both relaxation and functionality. A radon mitigation system is already in place, providing additional peace of mind. With its rare combination of preserved character, major mechanical updates, and an unbeatable walkable location, this home presents an exceptional opportunity in the heart of Ann Arbor on the Old West Side.
