OPEN HOUSE CANCELLED. A warm welcome to a gorgeous home featuring 3 bedrooms, 1.5 bathrooms, good bones, and a perfect layout for comfortable and convenient living. This house has so much to love.

An updated kitchen with a granite countertop and modern appliances. A centrally located dining room. A sprawling bungalow bedroom upstairs with built-in shelving. A large main floor bedroom and an adjacent third bedroom near the full bath. A bright, clean, and open basement with a half bath and a bar made from an old bowling alley lane on 8 mile. A south-facing sun room overlooking the backyard and shed, perfect for evening relaxation as the sun sets. Flip an interior switch and hear the waterfall of the pond. Stretch out by the fire on a large, spiralling, beautifully laid brick patio. A quiet area yet easily walkable to downtown Ferndale, Western Market, Geary Park, through Pleasant Ridge, or just for a quick ice cream.
