Charming find in Brighton Township, this welcoming Ranch boasts favorable taxes and a location just 1 mile from downtown! Multiple meaningful and cosmetic updates have brought this well appointed home to life. Beginning with peace of mind: Furnace and A/C replaced in 2023, Water Heater (50 gallon) replaced in 2025 and the exterior wood siding painted in 2025. Function? With an eye for more than just the cosmetic, the space was opened up, overseen by a structural engineer, with removal of non load bearing wall, offering a highly sought after layout, not often found in this neighborhood. The addition of the primary bathroom, creating a large ensuite, with porcelain tile and walk in shower, was added in 2025. The thoughtful use of space, added at the same time- a walk in closet and laundry room. The home itself? Checking boxes from the moment you walk in. A complete kitchen remodel (2023) is the center of the home. A new island with matching Butcher Block to compliment the new countertops, new soft close cabinets, a Farmhouse sink & pearl toned ceramic backsplash with complimentary floating shelves- and don’t forget the Stainless Steel Appliances. The living room is adorned by a gas fireplace, updated with white washed brick. A second full bathroom, updated in 2024, is a challenge to find in this price range. Flooring updated to scratch resistant, durable LVP, creating a cohesive feel throughout and newly carpeted bedrooms, all in 2023. Door wall added (2023) to access the truly idyllic outdoor space. Deck with Garden and Privacy wall (2025) and the benefit of a fenced in backyard- with a shed!- create outdoor gatherings worth remembering. Extra under floor storage space (crawl space access) can be found in the walk in closet. Walkable to Veteran’s Park! All improvements made prior to having to relocate for work and can now be enjoyed by the new owner. Roof is believed to be ~ 2013. Brighton living at an affordable price, waiting for you to call home!
