Well-maintained, solid brick ranch in desirable Berkley, one of Metro Detroit's most beloved communities, known for its great restaurants, local shops, walkable downtown, top-rated schools, and welcoming neighborhood feel. Built with the kind of quality craftsmanship that's hard to find today, this home offers comfort, character, and lasting peace of mind. Freshly updated with new paint, a refreshed bathroom, and a newly refreshed basement, it's ready for you to move right in and start making memories. Beautiful hardwood floors, Corian countertops, and real maple cabinetry bring warmth and appeal throughout. Stay comfortable year-round with central air conditioning, a high-quality Lennox furnace with humidifier, and a tankless water heater that provides endless on-demand hot water while helping reduce energy costs. Laundry hookups accommodate either a gas or electric dryer for added flexibility. Outside, enjoy a new front porch completed in 2024, a larger corner lot with plenty of outdoor space, and a two-car garage. Spotlessly clean, lovingly maintained, and full of charm, this is the kind of home that just feels right the moment you walk through the door.
