    What's special

    Welcome to this light-filled ranch home in downtown Brighton, a short 9-minute walk to some of the best restaurants and activities around. Don’t let the size fool you—this home has smart design and functional spaces that make it feel much larger than it seems, thanks to the recently finished basement with vinyl plank flooring and fresh drywall and paint. On the main level, large windows in the living room and primary bedroom flood the home with natural light. Coved ceilings in the living room. You’ll love the well-maintained original mid-century modern kitchen, complete with vintage cabinetry and sink. The kitchen also includes a cozy breakfast area, perfect for morning coffee. Beyond all the updated paint and flooring, recent upgrades include a new roof in 2023, a new furnace and central air conditioning in 2022, and an upgraded electrical panel and service in 2022. The kitchen and bedroom windows were replaced in 2019, and bathroom plumbing was updated in 2021. Step outside to a spacious park-like backyard, where you can park your camper or boat. Whether you’re hosting gatherings or enjoying quiet evenings, the serene outdoor space with a deck, mature trees and a shed for your yard toys is a highlight. You’ll be downtown near the farmer’s market, festivals and fantastic retail and restaurants, and local favorites like Gus' Takeout, Walgreens, Meijer, and more are also close by. Plus, enjoy great neighbors and no HOA! Brighton Schools. Great access for commuters. This home offers the perfect blend of character and location at an affordable price —don't miss out!
