The open floor plan and spacious updated kitchen are perfect for entertaining, and are kept cool by a newer energy efficient AC unit. A convenient half bath is also located on the main floor. Upstairs, you'll find three generously sized bedrooms and a full bath. The full basement offers plenty of storage and potential for additional living space. Outside, enjoy a private backyard, detached 2 car garage, and the peaceful, tree-lined streets that define Russell Woods, a neighborhood known for its strong community ties, historic architecture, and proximity to parks, schools, and major Detroit thoroughfares. Whether you're a first-time homebuyer or a lover of Detroit's rich architectural heritage, this home is an ideal opportunity to own a piece of the city's storied past.
