Lovingly known as the “House on the Hill,” this iconic Dearborn home sits proudly on a 1/3-acre corner lot and has earned multiple City of Dearborn Beautification Awards. A perfect blend of timeless craftsman charm and tasteful modern updates, this classic Cape Cod offers both character and comfort. Step into the heart of the home, where a beautifully designed fireplace becomes the signature feature of the living room. The original mantel and built-ins catch your eye, adding warmth and historic elegance. The adjoining dining room features a built-in glass cabinet—ideal for showcasing collector dishes, art, or cherished items. The living, dining, and kitchen areas flow naturally, creating a seamless space for daily living and entertaining. The kitchen is updated with crisp white cabinetry, quartz countertops, and modern appliances. Just off the kitchen, a spacious pantry offers excellent storage. The family room adds flexibility with built-ins that enhance charm and function. The spacious primary suite is on the main floor and features a renovated en-suite bath (2023) and private entrance ideal as a guest retreat or in-law suite. Upstairs, a wide staircase leads to three generously sized bedrooms and two full baths with vintage tile. One bedroom includes a whimsical bonus room—perfect for a playroom, reading nook, or creative hideaway. Outside, the fully fenced backyard is a rare gem. A lush lawn, space behind the home, and a patio beside the garage create a great setting for relaxing or entertaining. Enjoy a serene dining experience on the back Trex deck (2023), overlooking a picturesque setting of perennials, mature trees, and visiting wildlife. Recent updates include new windows (2025, excluding primary), refinished hardwood floors (2025), garage doors (2025), and water heater (2025). A heated two-car detached garage adds year-round versatility. Located near Dearborn Country Club, U of M Dearborn, top-rated schools, parks, and shopping—this is a rare gem.
