This completely upgraded, move-in-ready Detroit bungalow has been transformed from top to bottom. Step inside to a bright, freshly painted interior featuring new flooring, modern finishes, and an open, comfortable layout. The renovated kitchen steals the show with white shaker cabinets, granite countertops, subway tile backsplash, recessed lighting, and plenty of storage.
The updated bathroom offers a beautifully tiled tub surround, modern vanity, and fresh fixtures. Three bedrooms provide flexible living space, including an expansive upper-level retreat that could serve as a primary bedroom, home office, or bonus room. The clean, open basement adds excellent storage and future finishing potential.
Outside, enjoy fresh landscaping, strong curb appeal, a welcoming front porch, and a long driveway for convenient off-street parking.
Located in Detroit’s Boynton neighborhood with convenient access to the expressway, neighborhood parks, recreation, and approximately 10 miles to Downtown Detroit. This is not another home that needs work; it is clean, updated, and ready for its next owner. Schedule your showing before somebody else beats you to it.
