About this property

In 1926, Maize House was moved less than two blocks from its original location (in what's now Section 1 of Michigan Stadium) to make way for the Big House. With its yellow paint, blue trim, proximity and historical significance to the University of Michigan (former tenant Woody Malloy, who helped Michigan win the national golf championship in 1935, was born here), you won't find a location with more school spirit anywhere in Ann Arbor. It's the ideal venue for corporate events, commencement parties, or a family football weekend in Ann Arbor.

About the host

Hosted by GREGORY ANDERSON

Our family of three (plus one small hypoallergenic dog) moved to Ann Arbor following a fellowship at the University of Michigan. We simply didn't want to leave. Then we found this house, nestled into the "Oak Crest" neighborhood between Michigan Stadium, Allmendinger Park, and Pioneer High School, and we fell in love. Everything in Ann Arbor is walkable from here, including Liberty Street and all its restaurants, the University of Michigan's central campus and golf course, Washtenaw Dairy, Michigan Stadium, and the Crisler Center.

Why they chose this property

Aside from the obvious location, the house itself is historically significant because it was originally located inside what is now Michigan Stadium. In 1926, the University of Michigan acquired this house from its then occupants, the Malloy family, and paid a house mover $600 to move it two blocks to its current location on Keech Ave (we have a copy of the contract) so that Michigan Stadium could be built where it currently is. In 2009, the house was remodeled with a backyard addition, so it feels very modern and up to date. It has central air, an open floor plan on the first floor, a built-in entertainment center, and lots and lots of charm.

What makes this property unique

Location, location, location. Also, a beautiful brick paver driveway with a block M on it, which makes for the most stunning tailgate party decor and a guaranteed conversation piece on football game days.
