Fully renovated home just short walk from the heart of Downtown Brighton offering the rare combination of modern updates, character, and an unbeatable in-town lifestyle. On a double lot with room for a garage given city approval, you will enjoy easy access to local restaurants, coffee shops, the farmers market, Mill Pond, and all of the events that make downtown Brighton such a sought-after place to live. The home has been thoughtfully updated from top to bottom while maintaining the charm and personality you can't find in a new build. Step inside to find fresh paint, updated trim, new luxury vinyl plank flooring, and new carpeting throughout, creating a bright, cohesive feel from room to room. The main living spaces feel warm and inviting, blending modern finishes with carefully preserved vintage details that add character and tell a story. The fully renovated kitchen features updated cabinetry, fixtures, and finishes designed for today's lifestyle, while the updated bathrooms offer a clean, timeless aesthetic. Outside, the improvements continue with newly painted exterior siding, a huge covered front porch, and deck - creating welcoming outdoor spaces to enjoy morning coffee, entertain friends, or simply relax at the end of the day. Move-in ready and beautifully updated, this home offers the opportunity to enjoy all the conveniences of downtown living without sacrificing the charm and warmth of a true Brighton original.
