About this home

Immaculately maintained and thoughtfully updated, this charming Birmingham home offers an exceptional combination of quality, comfort, and easy living. With a first-floor primary suite, 2 additional bedrooms upstairs, and inviting indoor and outdoor spaces, the flexible floor plan offers an appealing alternative to condominium living with the privacy of a single-family home. Inside, hardwood floors, vaulted ceilings, and abundant natural light create an inviting atmosphere. The living room features an updated fireplace with custom mantel, surround, and built-in shelving. The adjoining dining area opens to a renovated kitchen featuring premium Omega Dynasty cabinetry, quartz countertops, a Kohler cast-iron sink, designer fixtures, and stainless steel appliances. A spacious family room offers a second fireplace and a breakfast bar connecting to the kitchen. The first-floor primary suite features an updated bathroom with Omega Dynasty cabinetry, Cambria quartz countertops, and designer brass fixtures. A beautifully appointed powder room completes the main level. Upstairs, 2 additional bedrooms share a renovated full bathroom with quality finishes. The finished basement provides additional living space. One of the home's most distinctive features is the expansive screened-in patio, offering a private space to relax and entertain throughout the warmer months. Set well back from the road, the property offers a sense of privacy and separation from the street, with the added benefit of minimal yard maintenance. The owners' extensive investments extend beyond the visible finishes, including solid-core interior doors, a new driveway, comprehensive drainage and basement water-management improvements, and a newer hot water heater. Beautifully cared for and improved with an emphasis on lasting quality, this is a special opportunity to enjoy low-maintenance living in Birmingham.

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 $729,000, or $286 per square foot, 14% 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 Birmingham sales or ask us for the comparable sales on this one.

Property taxes for a new owner

The current owner pays about $5,914 a year. A buyer who lives here would pay about $5,973 to $14,042 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.
