Designed by Carl Koch — the architect behind the Techbuilt movement — “The Excursion House” (1955) previously featured on the Ford Foundation’s television program “Excursion” in 1954, is one of the earliest mid-century builds in Holly Hill Farms. Sited on a south-facing half acre for all-day light, the home offers 3 bedrooms + a flexible 4th space and 2.5 baths, with pond views from the main level and either water or wooded outlooks from the rooms above. The interior holds the signatures of the era: tall ceilings, exposed beams, an open plan, and a wood-burning fireplace anchoring the living space. Thoughtful updates — including a new roof and drive (2025), full exterior/interior paint, updated bath, original cabinets with updated counters and strong mechanicals — provide ease without disturbing the architecture. The rear landscape is framed by mature trees, a gentle water feature, and soft landscape lighting. In addition to the 2.5-car garage (612 sq ft), a 532 sq ft studio with cork floors and over sized windows offers an ideal setting for a workspace, creative practice, or gym. A composed, authentic mid-century modern in Metro Detroit’s Holly Hill Farms.
