About this home

Handyman Special. Sold as-is and priced to reflect the need for interior cosmetics. Flooring needs replacing and family room which is on a slab, has a drop ceiling as it was previously a garage. Bring your design ideas and build rapid sweat equity in a fantastic location. Boasting exceptional curb appeal and set on a generous 0.86-acre lot, this 1,700+ square foot ranch offers a rare blend of space, mechanical updates, and incredible potential. Metal roof looks like asphalt (stone coated steel) but is actually metal and should last a very long time. A welcoming circle driveway provides excellent visual appeal and abundant parking for guests, vehicles, or recreational toys. The center of the home features a massive, ultra-versatile 30-foot by 8-foot flex space off the entry, perfect for tailoring to your lifestyle as an expansive foyer, a formal dining room, or a bright home office. Key big-ticket items have already been handled, including a newer metal roof, updated siding and furnace. City water is already connected. For hobbyists, mechanics, or tradespeople, the exterior features are unmatched: A detached 2.5-car garage equipped with 220V electrical service and a dedicated rear workshop under a lean-to extension. A secondary large metal garage/shed with a concrete floor, ideal for housing a golf cart, outdoor gear, or specialized equipment. There is a dedicated, enclosed storage room off the back porch to keep garden tools organized (also has opening to crawl space). Located within the highly desirable Farmington School District, this property is a true diamond in the rough.

How it compares in Farmington Hills

Over the last 90 days, 145 homes sold in Farmington Hills for a median of $399,000, about $156 per square foot, and the typical one went under contract in 10 days.

Property taxes for a new owner

The current owner pays about $2,653 a year. A buyer who lives here would pay about $2,387 to $4,112 a year once the taxable value resets after the sale, at the 2025 homestead rate of 42.87 mills for Farmington Hills City and Farmington 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.
