What's special

Remodeled in 2023, this charming 3-bedroom, 1-bath brick bungalow in Detroit is move-in ready with style to spare! The living room impresses immediately with hardwood floors, a fireplace with black tile surround, crown molding, recessed lighting, and a sliding glass door — a space that feels elevated well above its price point. The kitchen shines with shaker-style cabinetry, granite countertops, and a white subway tile backsplash, while the bathroom features a fully tiled surround with mosaic accents and a recessed niche. Upstairs, the spacious bonus rooms with sloped ceilings, recessed lighting, and built-in storage add versatile living space. A covered front porch with dark wood decking, arched entryway, unfinished basement, and an expansive fenced backyard with mature trees round out a property that truly punches above its weight. South of McNichols, west of Schafer — don't sleep on this one!
