Set on a .33-acre lot in St. Clair Shores, this extensively updated home offers over 3,300 square feet of living space plus a basement, with 4 bedrooms, 3 full baths, and 2 half baths. A major 2021 addition transformed the home, introducing a spacious main-floor primary suite with a luxurious private bath and oversized walk-in closet featuring custom pull-out shoe storage. A generous family room with wet bar, main-floor laundry, an additional half bath, and pantry add everyday convenience and room to entertain. The kitchen features granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and cabinetry refaced in 2023. An updated upper-level junior suite with a private full bath provides a second suite option, complemented by two additional bedrooms and another full bath. The backyard offers an inviting waterfront retreat with an in-ground pool, hot tub, extensive stonework, and a covered patio with ceiling-mounted heaters and fans. Trex decking along the canal creates additional space to relax and entertain by the water. Extensive landscaping, driveway, drainage, and canal-fed sprinkler improvements were completed in 2021, along with substantial pool upgrades. Notable updates include the seawall and Trex decking in 2020, roof and electrical panel in 2021, pool heater and basement epoxy flooring in 2022, garage door in 2023, and furnaces and water heater in 2025.

How it compares in St. Clair Shores

Property taxes for a new owner

The current owner pays about $13,585 a year. A buyer who lives here would pay about $13,730 to $20,433 a year once the taxable value resets after the sale, at the 2025 homestead rate of 47.61 mills for Saint Clair Shores City and Lakeview 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.
