**Offer deadline established for Sunday, 4/6, 8PM** (Seller is a licensed real estate agent in the state of Michigan // Home offered with base warranty from APHW) Vintage charm meets modern convenience in this lovingly maintained Garfield Park 2-story home! The stunning original woodwork, gleaming hardwood floors, and crown molding throughout help to elevate this home. The living room is anchored by a cozy wood-burning fireplace and oak mantle, while the dining room, framed by glass-paned French doors, is perfect for gatherings. The thoughtfully updated kitchen balances style and function, featuring newer matte-stainless appliances, fresh cabinets with under-cab lighting, tasteful light fixtures, and a peninsula to allow for more workspace and seating. A charming and convenient half bath is located on the main floor for guests. Upstairs you'll find refreshed wood floors and a modern bathroom, along with 3 generously sized bedrooms. The bedrooms each feature a modest closet and there are built-ins to aid in overall storage space. Continue up to the attic to dream about the possibilities of finishing the space. For now, take advantage of the additional storage! The partially finished basement is perfect for an office or den while additional storage options abound in the dry unfinished portion. A carpet pad and rod have been installed by the laundry area to make that space more functional as well. Step outside to enjoy the serenity of a large, privacy-fenced, backyard. The privacy, along with the grassy yard and brick patio, create a perfect area for hosting get togethers. Take note of the freshly painted exterior! A small shed allows for decent storage of yard-necessities. Located just minutes from Garfield Park, the Kroc Community Center, library, Ken's Fruit Market, and highway access, this home offers both charm and convenience. Don't miss your chance to make it yours!

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
