About this home

A home with stories to tell & plenty of room to add your own. This 1,161-square-foot, all-brick Berkley ranch has been lovingly adored by the same family across generations. Its history lives in the details, beginning with the balanced brick facade, matching shuttered windows & accent octagonal window on the outside, to the antique milk glass chandelier, glass door knob hardware, custom cabinetry & built-in shelving found in the kitchen, bedrooms & basement within. Natural Hardwood floors have also been preserved beneath the carpeting on the main floor. With three bedrooms, one full bathroom & one half bathroom, the layout offers comfortable everyday living & storage in all the right places. Outside, the spacious backyard leaves room for football games, garden plans & summer gatherings, complemented by a custom 20-by-35-foot deck. Behind the character, several important updates have already been completed: the roof, front porch cement work & paver walkway approach were replaced in 2025, the furnace & central air were updated in 2023, & newer vinyl windows are already in place. With these major components handled, you can focus on the enjoyable part: stepping into homeownership, making intentional improvements & creating a home that reflects your own design vibe - all within Berkley’s walkable community, with neighborhood recreation & everyday conveniences close by. Home is being sold as-is. Could this be your opportunity to put down roots in Berkley?

How it compares in Berkley

Over the last 90 days, 74 homes sold in Berkley for a median of $350,000, about $208 per square foot, and the typical one went under contract in 10 days. This home is listed at $270,000, or $173 per square foot, 17% below the city median, and has been on the market 1 day. Size, condition, updates and the exact street all move the number, so treat this as context. See recent Berkley sales or ask us for the comparable sales on this one.

Property taxes for a new owner

The current owner pays about $3,491 a year. A buyer who lives here would pay about $3,492 to $5,492 a year once the taxable value resets after the sale, at the 2025 homestead rate of 40.28 mills for Berkley City and Berkley schools, plus the 1% administration fee. Michigan resets a home's taxable value the year after it sells, so the seller's bill isn't a good number to budget with. See the math.
