The Maple-Tunnel Estate: A Gated Northville Retreat Across from Meadowbrook Country Club

There are houses you drive past.

And then there are homes you arrive to.

At 40600 8 Mile Road, arrival begins before you ever reach the front door. The remote-controlled gate opens, the newly paved drive curves forward, and you’re welcomed by a tunnel of maple trees that feels more like the entrance to a private retreat than a suburban street. Sunlight filters through the leaves. You slow down without meaning to. It’s the kind of quiet moment that makes you think, This is where life could feel different.

Across the road, the greens of Meadowbrook Country Club roll gently behind the trees — a reminder that beauty and refuge exist side by side here.

A Home Built With Intention, Not Just Square Footage

Designed by GAV & Associates and built by Sal Sigliano, this all-brick estate wasn’t created to impress for a moment. It was built to last for generations.

Inside, the two-story foyer opens like a breath — tall ceilings, warm oak doors, light pouring through Hurd windows. Every room feels connected, yet each holds its own personality. The living spaces don’t shout for attention; they invite you in.

You can imagine holidays here.

Birthdays.

Quiet mornings.

Snowy nights.

Moments that become part of the home’s memory.

A Place That Holds the Rhythm of a Full Life

With 7 bedrooms and 5 full plus 2 half baths, this home has space for every chapter of life:

Family staying for the holidays
Teenagers needing extra room
Long-term guests
Multi-generational living
Work, hobbies, and weekends filled with gathering

The primary suite offers the kind of space that feels like a private corner of the world: a Jacuzzi tub, massive walk-in closets, and soft afternoon light drifting in through the bay window.

Throughout the home, tray ceilings, double-sided fireplaces, and large windows give the rooms a sense of character — small details you don’t notice all at once but feel as you move through the space.

A Kitchen That Feels Like the Center of the Home

The gourmet kitchen is anchored by custom Dura-Supreme cabinetry and deep, striking Amazon Blue granite. It’s a space built for everyday living and big celebrations — open, warm, and connected to the rest of the home.

It isn’t just a kitchen where meals are made.

It’s a kitchen where people gather.

A Lower Level Designed for Joy

Downstairs, the finished lower level feels like its own private world — cozy, warm, and full of possibility.

There’s a theater room for movie nights, a second kitchen for hosting, and an additional bedroom and full bath for extended stays. With its own walk-up entry through the garage, it’s perfect for independence, privacy, or simply ease of coming and going.

You can feel the life that’s already been lived in these spaces — laughter echoing from the theater room, game nights around the bar, holiday breakfasts made downstairs while kids sleep in.

A Property That Breathes

Step outside onto the large patio, and you’re surrounded by the quiet of 1.86 private acres. It’s peaceful in a way that’s hard to describe — the kind of quiet that brings out birdsong, morning light, and the subtle hum of nature.

The maple trees sway.

The yard stretches wide.

And for a moment, you feel miles away from everything.

Yet everything you need — Trader Joe’s, Costco, theaters, restaurants, schools — is only minutes away.

This is what people search for but rarely find:

A home that feels like nature, but lives like convenience.

A Story Ready for Its Next Chapter

Homes like this don’t pass from owner to owner; they pass from story to story. They hold memories, host milestones, and collect the kind of moments that shape a family.

This estate has been cared for thoughtfully — with a new roof (2024), new HVAC systems (2023 & 2024), and wood flooring added in 2019. It offers the solid, grounded feeling of a home built with intention and maintained with respect.

Now it’s ready for its next chapter.

Maybe that chapter belongs to you.
