About this home
Welcome home to this distinctive mid-century modern ranch in the Birmingham School District! Set back from the road, this custom-built home has had just two owners and features quality craftsmanship and thoughtful details. Numerous updates since 2023 include central air, a whole-house Generac generator, water softener and reverse osmosis, encapsulated crawlspace under family room, new skylights, new hardwood floors, new kitchen appliances, granite countertops, refinished cabinetry, and a luxurious primary suite bath. With 4 bedrooms and 3 1/2 baths, the thoughtfully designed layout offers two en suites for added comfort and flexibility. The main level features the living room, kitchen, dining room, three bedrooms (including an en suite), an additional full bath, a half bath, and a spacious laundry room. A separate en suite, located just a half flight of stairs up, offers a private retreat away from the main bedrooms. The walkout basement provides even more living space and opens to an over half acre, wooded backyard backing up to the Rouge River.

R-1B
One-Family Residential District
The Master Plan recognizes that single-family residential neighborhoods are vital components of the City, and comprise the majority of the land area within the City. The intent of the R-1A through R-1E Districts is to provide areas for single-family dwellings with the primary distinction being a range of densities, implemented through varying lot sizes. The R-1A through R-1E Districts are further intended to preserve and improve upon the quality of residential neighborhoods while permitting a limited number of other compatible uses which support residential neighborhoods.
Permitted uses
Include but are not limited to:
Agriculture
Housing-Single unit
Communications tower
Cemetery
Park & open space
