Set on approximately 2.5 acres of private, wooded land, this rare Romulus property offers the kind of space, privacy, and natural beauty that’s increasingly hard to find. Winding walking paths invite you to explore your own backyard, where frequent sightings of deer and wild turkey create a peaceful, up-north feel—perfect for nature lovers, outdoor enthusiasts, or anyone craving room to breathe. The home features a 3-bedroom, 1-bath bungalow layout with hardwood floors and fresh interior paint, creating a clean, move-in ready foundation. The updated walk-in shower adds everyday convenience, while the upper level presents an opportunity to expand, offering valuable unfinished space ready to be customized for additional living area, a primary suite, or home office. Outside, the new 20' x 10' Amish-built storage shed provides quality-built, practical space for tools, equipment, or recreational gear—ideal for maximizing the usability of the acreage. Despite its private, tucked-away setting, the property maintains strong accessibility—just minutes from I-94, Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport, and the Romulus Athletic Center, as well as nearby shopping and everyday conveniences. If you’ve been searching for land, privacy, and potential—this is where those elements come together.
