Real Estate One®

Welcome to the grand Bach/Nichols House in the heart of downtown Ann Arbor on a prominent corner lot with beautiful professional landscaping. Initially constructed in 1865 and expanded over the next several decades with balloon frame construction and 10 foot main floor ceilings, this was the grand home of several distinguished Ann Arbor families over the decades, was the location of several businesses, and in the mid-1990s underwent a complete overhaul to its current use as professional offices.
