About this home

Charming brick bungalow in the heart of Birmingham, offering 3 bedrooms, 2 full baths, 1,164 sq ft on the main level plus a 930 sq ft finished basement. This home blends classic character with thoughtful updates: original hardwood floors, built-in shelves, and coved plaster ceilings sit alongside a white kitchen with butcher block counters and stainless appliances. The bright living room features a large bay window that fills the space with natural light. The finished lower level adds valuable living space with an updated full bath and a large laundry room. Outside, enjoy a fully fenced backyard with a spacious deck and a 2-car garage. Major updates give peace of mind, including a new roof in 2020 and new AC in 2021. The location is truly hard to beat: stroll to Whole Foods, the ice arena, and Griffin Claw, or walk over to the Whistle Stop for a weekend breakfast with the family. Don’t miss your chance to own a move-in ready home in one of Birmingham’s most walkable neighborhoods!

How it compares in Birmingham

Over the last 90 days, 102 homes sold in Birmingham for a median of $907,000, about $331 per square foot, and the typical one went under contract in 18 days. This home is listed at $475,000, or $227 per square foot, 31% below the city median, and has been on the market 14 days. Size, condition, updates and the exact street all move the number, so treat this as context. See recent Birmingham sales or ask us for the comparable sales on this one.

Property taxes for a new owner

The current owner pays about $7,061 a year. A buyer who lives here would pay about $6,800 to $9,149 a year once the taxable value resets after the sale, at the 2025 homestead rate of 38.14 mills for Birmingham City and Birmingham 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.
