    What's special

    Hunker down for the winter in this cozy, charming & professionally updated 3/2 Birmingham brick bungalow blending tasteful design elements & functional floorplan intentionally incorporating original vintage characteristics while meeting today's more modern preferences.  Entire home has been freshly painted, providing a neutral backdrop for the Buyer's personal touches. The first floor features a flexible light-filled living room with a classic cove ceiling and archways, two bedrooms, and a tiled full bath. All-white kitchen includes an SS gas stove, overhead fan, refrigerator and contrasting black dishwasher, complemented by a custom black-and-white tile backsplash, granite countertops, an under-counter SS sink and separate egress to the patio & privacy of a fenced backyard. Newly refinished hardwood flooring & window blinds throughout.  Upstairs features a spacious but cozy carpeted primary suite with built-in shelves, closets, a striking tiled bathroom, and window blinds. Lower level is carpeted offering additional functional space, storage & laundry facility, washer & dryer included. Situated in the much sought-after quiet residential neighborhood of Sheffield Estates, with sidewalks flanked by mature trees, this location offers desirable and easy access to the vibrancy of both upscale & casual dining, shopping and entertainment in downtown Birmingham as well as nearby Royal Oak, Berkley, Clawson, and Ferndale. Eton Academy is just a short distance away. Enjoy convenient access to popular commutes and major expressways. This home is in move-in condition, easy to show with possession at closing.
