Set deep on a nearly 2-acre lot, surrounded by thriving sugar maple and black walnut trees and a verdant rolling lawn, is Michigan settler Samuel White’s Greek Revival farmhouse, built around 1840. For the past 57 years, a historian, landscape architect, and arborist has, together with his family, been the most recent steward of this storied land. Today, drive across the crackle of a gravel driveway, past a Colonial-style split rail fence to a rare oasis from the hustle of modern life. Sit on the wrap-around brick patio and take in the shade of mature hardwoods, lush evergreens, stunning perennial gardens, and the spring-fed creek that is nearby—all home to the calls of purple finches, pileated woodpeckers, and red-winged black birds. Inside, this historic home includes a cast-iron, Cawley LeMay wood burning stove; oak and walnut timbers; tulip poplar woodwork; and maple floors. A discrete office addition includes an exposed brick wall, and wood floors that were salvaged from Detroit’s Greenfield Village. This one-of-a-kind property is walking distance from Thornton Creek Elementary and the Novi Public Library; and just two miles from historic downtown Northville. While this homestead includes a historic marker, it does not include historic protection. Purchase this legacy property to protect it, or to make this stunning piece of land your own.
