Boasting timeless craftsmanship and modern functionality, this residence blends warmth, elegance, and convenience in one exceptional package. The gourmet kitchen features custom dark cherry cabinetry, granite countertops, GE Profile stainless steel appliances, porcelain tile flooring, and an impressive extra-high ceiling for an airy, open feel. A flowing floor plan leads to the inviting family room, where sliding doors open to a stamped concrete patio - ideal for entertaining or relaxing outdoors. Inside, enjoy a harmonious mix of hardwood, slate, porcelain, and Shaw carpeting. Two natural fireplaces provide cozy ambiance, while seven pocket doors add charm and space-saving utility. The home has been freshly painted, with updated bedrooms and subtle touch-ups throughout. Highlights include a master suite with remodeled bath, two more full baths (one updated, one with vintage charm), and a stylish half bath. The fifth bedroom offers extra versatility - perfect for guests, an office, or studio. Practical upgrades ensure comfort and efficiency: Atlas dimensional roof with 50-year transferable warranty, WeatherGard thermal windows (35-year warranty), R39 attic insulation, high-velocity central A/C, hot water baseboard boiler system (ideal for allergy sufferers), 80-gallon commercial water heater, and upgraded 200-amp electrical panel. The 2.5-car garage features a new door (less than a year old) and room for storage, bikes, or a small workshop. An invisible dog fence adds convenience. Located on a quiet, low-traffic street in a top-rated school district, with access to excellent public, private, and parochial schools - including Cranbrook, International Academy, and Country Day. Just minutes from I-75 and Woodward, this home offers a rare mix of privacy, community, and accessibility. Don't miss this chance to own a move-in-ready home.
