About this home
This wonderful old farmhouse is like a mother hen just waiting to have new chicks under her wings. The fact that this home still stands straight and true, in spite of being well over a 100 years old, is a testament to how well they built things back in the day! Each floor joist is still a straight tree trunk - likely harvested off the land it sits on - and the stones they to build the basement are stunning! The country invites you to enjoy “the way things were” by starting your day in the morning sun on your enclosed porch and ending it in the evening shade on the back deck! In between the two is a darling farmhouse with the perfectly laid out cook’s kitchen - with the perfect spot for a beverage center - and small kitchen table under the window. All new flooring, kitchen appliances, countertop, washer and dryer give you a head start on making yourself right at home. Plus(!!!) it has a whole house generator! The front bedroom upstairs is non-conforming with only a wardrobe for a closet.

How it compares in Dexter
Over the last 90 days, 47 homes sold in Dexter for a median of $580,000, about $214 per square foot, and the typical one went under contract in 14 days. This home is listed at $255,000, or $265 per square foot, 24% above the city median, and has been on the market 137 days. Size, condition, updates and the exact street all move the number, so treat this as context. See recent Dexter sales or ask us for the comparable sales on this one.
Property taxes for a new owner
The current owner pays about $2,657 a year. A buyer who lives here would pay about $2,697 to $4,510 a year once the taxable value resets after the sale, at the 2025 homestead rate of 35.02 mills for Lima Twp and Dexter 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.
