About this home
Beautifully updated quad-level in the Montego Bay Sub, a move-in ready three bed, two bath home filled with natural light, warm hardwood floors, and a backyard made for slow summer evenings. A landscaped courtyard entry with a stone walkway and cozy front porch sets a welcoming tone before you step into the bright foyer with fresh tile and a tall transom window. French doors open to the living room, where a large picture window pours light across rich hardwood floors that carry right into the dining room with a doorwall to the backyard. The kitchen shines with new flooring, new granite countertops, a crisp subway tile backsplash, new stainless steel appliances, generous cabinet space, and a handy spot for casual meals. Head down a few steps to the family room, a true showpiece with a beamed ceiling, a wood burning fireplace framed in painted brick, charming arched niches, and large windows. A completely remodeled full bath sits just off the family room with a sleek glass-enclosed shower, and the laundry room features new tile and a new laundry sink. Upstairs, three bedrooms with hardwood floors include a spacious primary with double closets and direct access to a fully remodeled full bath, which also opens to the hallway and features a dual sink vanity and new granite countertops. The partially finished basement adds flexible bonus space for an office, hobby room, or guest area, plus utility storage. Out back, the fenced yard is wrapped in mature trees, with a brand-new patio perfect for entertaining. Fresh interior and exterior paint, new light fixtures inside and out, a new hot water tank, garbage disposal, and sump pump, plus an epoxy-coated floor in the attached two-car garage make this one truly turnkey. Great location with Utica schools. Welcome Home!

How it compares in Sterling Heights
Over the last 90 days, 337 homes sold in Sterling Heights for a median of $315,000, about $145 per square foot, and the typical one went under contract in 10 days. This home is listed at $385,000, or $162 per square foot, 12% above the city median, and has been on the market 35 days. Size, condition, updates and the exact street all move the number, so treat this as context. See recent Sterling Heights sales or ask us for the comparable sales on this one.
Property taxes for a new owner
The current owner pays about $5,065 a year. A buyer who lives here would pay about $5,065 to $7,569 a year once the taxable value resets after the sale, at the 2025 homestead rate of 38.93 mills for Sterling Heights City and Utica 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.
