This stunning three-story Detroit colonial perfectly blends timeless character in a spacious and inviting layout. The home also boasts other modern updates including solar panels to reduce energy bills! A welcoming front porch with beautiful landscaping sets the tone, leading into an entry vestibule that opens to a grand living room with dark hardwood floors, coved ceilings, and a bay window. The traditional dining room, framed by elegant French doors, flows into a light-filled family room featuring exposed brick and sliding glass doors to the back deck. The roomy kitchen boasts stainless steel appliances, a subway tile backsplash, and a charming breakfast nook, while a nearby mudroom with a glass block window and an entry-level half bath add convenience. Upstairs, three bedrooms share a beautifully updated full bath with a separate shower and tub, including a spacious primary with a cedar closet and a bedroom with balcony access. The third floor offers two additional bedrooms, one with its own ensuite bath—perfect for a guest suite or private retreat. A large basement provides plenty of storage, laundry, and a Generac PWRcell .
