Richmond, VA September 22, 2003: Mortgage rates still favor the buyer, putting Michigan luxury homes within reach of an expanded pool of potential home owners. That number increases exponentially when a trophy home goes to auction, which holds true for the October 8 auction sale of a three-story manor in Oakland Township’s Deer Creek neighborhood, according to Tranzon LLC’s John Bippus.

A nationwide accelerated marketing and auction group headquartered in Richmond, VA, Tranzon LLC has 11 member companies that together conducted auctions, sealed-bid sales and liquidations in 32 states and the District of Columbia last year – figures that have grown in 2003. Bippus heads Tranzon Bippus, which is based between Kalamazoo, MI and South Bend, IN and specializes in all types of real estate auctions.

This Sunday, September 28 a pre-auction inspection of the luxury property is scheduled from 1:00 – 4:00 p.m. Interested buyers are invited to tour the estate which is located at 2026 Victoria Hill outside of Detroit in Oakland Township, MI.

The gated estate on 2.5 wooded acres was completed in 1994 and combines Old World elegance with such modern amenities as a sophisticated security system controlling home lighting and the privacy gate; zoned heating with three gas-forced air furnaces with electronic air filters and humidifiers, zoned central air conditioning and central vacuum system.

According to Bippus, the estate is well-suited to the golfer and car fancier. A 41' x 18' golf room affords in-home practice despite the outside elements, bringing a bit of Pebble Beach inside an Oakland Township home and the four-car garage accommodates a range of vehicles.

Hand-cut lead glass windows; Brazilian cherry hardwood as well as marble flooring; and hand-carved antiqued ceiling medallions, fireplace mantles and custom molding pay tribute to a quality of craftsmanship rarely seen in new homes today.

Livability is enhanced with more than 9,486 square feet of space devoted to such luxuries as large, walk-in closets, a main-level guest suite, 10-foot ceilings and a specially designed kitchen featuring Gaggenau appliances, Subzero refrigerator, Corian countertops and a granite center island ideal for couples who frequently entertain.
