About this home
Price Improvement! You have to see this one to appreciate the transformation! This classic all-brick Garden City bungalow underwent an extensive 2026 studs-out renovation, blending timeless character with the feel and functionality of a substantially newer home. The main level was redesigned for today's lifestyle, creating an open-concept living space highlighted by a beautiful new kitchen with an oversized island, abundant cabinetry, stainless-steel appliances and plenty of room to gather. Upstairs was reconfigured with raised ceilings and a newly added private bath, creating a true primary suite. The renovation goes far beyond what you can see. Major improvements include a new roof, windows, siding and trim, exterior doors, electrical service and wiring, plumbing and PVC drains, gas lines, ductwork, high-efficiency furnace, central air, extensive insulation, drywall, flooring, interior doors, lighting and more. Both bathrooms have been beautifully finished with custom tile showers and built-in niches, while the interior features a fresh, neutral design that makes the home truly move-in ready. Outside, the improvements continue with a new garage door and opener, seamless gutters, concrete walkways, patio, sod and landscaping. This isn't just an updated home—it's a complete transformation from the studs out.

How it compares in Garden City
Over the last 90 days, 91 homes sold in Garden City for a median of $219,990, about $134 per square foot, and the typical one went under contract in 8 days. This home is listed at $359,900, or $257 per square foot, 92% above the city median, and has been on the market 44 days. Size, condition, updates and the exact street all move the number, so treat this as context. See recent Garden City sales or ask us for the comparable sales on this one.
Property taxes for a new owner
The current owner pays about $3,515 a year. A buyer who lives here would pay about $5,881 to $10,012 a year once the taxable value resets after the sale, at the 2025 homestead rate of 55.09 mills for Garden City City and Garden City 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.
