About this home

Completely remodeled in 2026, this Northwest Detroit ranch is conveniently located near the Detroit & Old Redford border and offers a fresh, modern take on comfortable single-level living. A new gray-blue vinyl exterior, thoughtfully refreshed landscaping beds, illuminated front walkway, and freshly poured concrete create an inviting first impression. Inside, the home opens to a bright, airy living space highlighted by vaulted ceilings that bring added height and character to the main living area. The open-concept layout seamlessly connects the living room and kitchen, creating an ideal setting for everyday living and entertaining. The beautifully remodeled kitchen features crisp white upper and lower cabinetry, matte black hardware, stainless steel appliances including refrigerator, microwave, and range, and a newly installed marble-look subway tile backsplash. A peninsula-style island offers additional prep and seating space, complemented by contemporary pendant lighting. Just off the back entrance, a convenient mudroom and laundry area provide a functional everyday drop zone, with direct access to a covered back porch overlooking the deep, fully fenced backyard. Three generously sized bedrooms, each featuring natural light from well-placed windows, share an updated hallway bathroom finished with black accents, slate-look flooring, and a classic subway tile shower surround. Outside, enjoy a deep, fully fenced backyard offering plenty of room for outdoor entertaining, gardening, pets, or simply enjoying your own private outdoor space. Additional updates include newer windows, roof, electrical, plumbing, and mechanical systems, offering added peace of mind. A move-in-ready opportunity with fresh finishes, modern updates, and inviting curb appeal throughout.

How it compares in Detroit

Over the last 90 days, 1,214 homes sold in Detroit for a median of $99,950, about $71 per square foot, and the typical one went under contract in 29 days. This home is listed at $139,900, or $131 per square foot, 85% above the city median, and has been on the market 4 days. Size, condition, updates and the exact street all move the number, so treat this as context. See recent Detroit sales or ask us for the comparable sales on this one.

Property taxes for a new owner

The current owner pays about $5,491 a year. A buyer who lives here would pay about $2,018 to $4,535 a year once the taxable value resets after the sale, at the 2025 homestead rate of 64.18 mills for Detroit City and Detroit 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.
