About this home

Charming brick bungalow in the heart of Birmingham, offering 3 bedrooms, 2 full baths, 1,164 sq ft on the main level plus a 930 sq ft finished basement. This home blends classic character with thoughtful updates: original hardwood floors, built-in shelves, and coved plaster ceilings sit alongside a white kitchen with butcher block counters and stainless appliances. The bright living room features a large bay window that fills the space with natural light. The finished lower level adds valuable living space with an updated full bath and a large laundry room. Outside, enjoy a fully fenced backyard with a spacious deck and a 2-car garage. Major updates give peace of mind, including a new roof in 2020 and new AC in 2021. The location is truly hard to beat: stroll to Whole Foods, the ice arena, and Griffin Claw, or walk over to the Whistle Stop for a weekend breakfast with the family. Don’t miss your chance to own a move-in ready home in one of Birmingham’s most walkable neighborhoods!

Michigan caps a homeowner's taxable value until the home sells, then it resets. That's about $1,998 a year more than this seller pays. The assessor's state equalized value (SEV) is $205,720. Your taxable value resets to the SEV the year after you buy, and assessors usually raise it to about half the sale price. Estimate uses Birmingham's 2025 homestead rate of 38.14 mills and assumes you claim the homestead exemption. See Birmingham's full tax breakdown or run the uncapping calculator.
