About this home

Thoughtfully updated 1920s colonial in Berkley with three bedrooms, two full baths, a partially finished basement, and a fenced backyard. A pergola-topped front porch with warm brick detailing makes the perfect spot for morning coffee before you even step inside. The living room is full of character with exposed wood ceiling beams, recessed lighting, and a row of windows pouring in natural light. From there, the dining room flows right into the kitchen, offering stainless steel appliances, a tile backsplash, and plenty of cabinet space. The main floor also includes a bright bedroom with sliding glass doors, currently set up as a relaxing sitting room, plus a full bath. Head upstairs to find built-in shelving at the landing, a second bedroom that works great as a home office, and a spacious primary bedroom with chair rail detail and a double closet. A second full bath with a tiled tub surround completes the upper level. Downstairs, the partially finished basement adds a cozy rec room for movie nights, along with a laundry area and extra storage. Out back, the fenced yard has a grassy lawn ready for summer cookouts, plus a detached two-car garage. Great updates over the last four years include a new tankless water heater, flooring, interior paint, appliances, the partially finished basement, driveway, gutters, and a reinforced garage. Close to Berkley schools and just minutes from downtown Berkley shops and restaurants. Welcome Home!

How it compares in Berkley

Over the last 90 days, 74 homes sold in Berkley for a median of $350,000, about $208 per square foot, and the typical one went under contract in 10 days. This home is listed at $390,000, or $234 per square foot, 13% above the city median, and has been on the market 7 days. Size, condition, updates and the exact street all move the number, so treat this as context. See recent Berkley sales or ask us for the comparable sales on this one.

Property taxes for a new owner

The current owner pays about $6,173 a year. A buyer who lives here would pay about $6,173 to $7,934 a year once the taxable value resets after the sale, at the 2025 homestead rate of 40.28 mills for Berkley City and Berkley 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.
