This 100-year-old Craftsman home offers the perfect blend of historic charm and modern convenience. Thoughtful updates over the years include new plumbing and electrical systems, a new roof within the last 10-15 years, a high-efficiency water heater installed in 2020, modern vinyl-clad windows for improved energy efficiency, and additional attic insulation to help keep utility costs low. The home also features toilets with installed bidets for added comfort and convenience, as well as 100 square feet of added additional storage space in the attic. With 3 bedrooms and 1.5 baths, it's full of character and ready for its next chapter. The original oak trim on the main floor has been carefully restored to its natural beauty, and the kitchen cabinets have been left unfinished, giving you the opportunity to customize them to your style. The kitchen and dining room have been opened up into a spacious great room, ideal for today's lifestyle. A convenient half bath is located on the main floor, while the three upstairs bedrooms share a full bath. Most of the interior has been freshly painted, providing an immediate refresh and saving you time and effort. Outside, you'll find a recently painted one-car detached garage, a fire pit, and three distinct yard spaces to enjoy. The garden features raised beds and trellises, perfect for growing your own produce or flowers. The front porch is a standout feature, with drop-down blinds for privacy and a ceiling fan to keep it cool in the summer while helping to keep bugs at bay. A Little Free Library in the front yard adds a welcoming touch and fosters a sense of community. Additionally, a neighborhood tot lot is located directly behind the house, offering a convenient and fun play area for children. Located in a quiet, safe neighborhood, this home offers quick access to downtown Ypsilanti, EMU, the new U-M clinic, local restaurants, and major freeways - just 2 minutes away. It's a peaceful setting with all the conveniences close by.
