Just south of the new 9 Mile trail sits a well-maintained ranch home with 828 sq ft, 2 bedrooms, and 1 bath. The kitchen is small but functional, with good cupboard space and extra storage in the utility room. The open concept dining and living area is great for entertaining. The backyard is a great place to relax, garden, or spend time with friends. Inside, the seller has kept the home’s midcentury feel, making the space simple, warm, and move-in ready. In spring, the lilacs bloom - four trees and two large bushes - creating a beautiful, welcoming setting. By summer, peonies, hydrangeas, and a large hibiscus fill in, giving the garden a full and established look. The garage offers plenty of storage or room for a very small car. Practical updates include LVP flooring with new padding (2022), a Whirlpool gas stove (2022), a 40-gallon hot water tank (2022), whole-house gutters (2023), a Carrier furnace (2023), and an updated bathroom exhaust fan (2023). Utility costs are very manageable (ask your agent for details), which is one of the benefits of a solid home this size. If you enjoy walking, Pie Sci, Hansen’s Hall, The Coolidge Cafe, Buena Fe, Forest Bakery, and Tai Fai are all less than a mile away. The home is close to Ferndale, Berkley, Royal Oak, Southfield, and Detroit. If you’re looking for a smaller midcentury home in a friendly, walkable neighborhood, 10401 Troy St in Oak Park may be the perfect fit.
