About this home

Bright and welcoming brick ranch in the Christian Hills subdivision, a fully updated home with 1950s roots, four bedrooms, one and a half baths, two fireplaces, and nearly 3/4 of an acre of park-like grounds. Mature trees and a stone-edged garden bed frame the front yard before you step inside to a spacious living room, where oversized wood-trimmed windows pour in natural light and a painted brick fireplace with a slate hearth creates a cozy focal point. Curved brick steps lead up to the dining area, complete with a sliding door out to the patio for easy indoor-outdoor living. The kitchen is made for gathering, with granite counters, a large center island with seating, loads of cabinetry, tall pantry-style cabinets, and a gas range, all opening right into the family room. That family room is the true heart of the home, anchored by a floor-to-ceiling brick fireplace, a long band of windows overlooking the yard, and sliding doors to the patio. Crown molding carries through the main living spaces. A handy laundry room with built-in cabinets and a utility sink connects to the half bath. Down the hall, the primary bedroom offers generous space and wide windows with leafy views, while three more bedrooms share a full bath with a double vanity and tub/shower. Step outside to a sprawling backyard with a large patio made for summer dinners and relaxed weekends, surrounded by lush lawn, ornamental grasses, and towering shade trees that give the whole lot a peaceful, tucked-away feel. An attached two-car garage adds everyday convenience. Move-in ready and updated throughout, all within Rochester Schools and close to Avon and Crooks Roads. Welcome Home!

How it compares in Rochester Hills

Property taxes for a new owner

The current owner pays about $3,237 a year. A buyer who lives here would pay about $3,253 to $7,557 a year once the taxable value resets after the sale, at the 2025 homestead rate of 30.86 mills for Rochester Hills City and Rochester 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.
