About this home
Sellers agree to a 1% 1-year rate buydown in the form of a concession. Beautifully renovated 1910 colonial that blends century-old character with fresh, modern comfort across three finished levels, offering four bedrooms, one and a half baths, and a bright open layout on a great block in the heart of Islandview. A covered front porch welcomes you into a sunny foyer, where the main level flows effortlessly from the living room to the dining area and kitchen. The living room is filled with natural light from a bay of windows and centers around a sleek linear fireplace, while recessed lighting and updated flooring carry through the whole space. The dining area sits beneath a detailed ceiling and opens right into the kitchen, making it easy to host a crowd or keep dinner casual. The kitchen shines with granite counters, stainless steel appliances, shaker-style cabinetry, a tile backsplash, open shelving, and a large island with seating, plus a side door for easy coming and going. A convenient half bath rounds out the main floor. Upstairs, three nice-sized bedrooms share a stylish full bath with a double vanity, and a flexible landing space makes a perfect home office or reading nook. Keep climbing to the third floor, where a spacious fourth bedroom with vaulted ceilings and a skylight creates a wonderful retreat that could also serve as a family room or guest suite. The full basement offers laundry and plenty of storage. Updated top to bottom with a brand new roof, this home is truly move-in ready. Just a five-minute drive to Little Village and The Shepherd, with easy access to downtown, the Detroit Riverwalk, and major freeways. Welcome Home!

Michigan caps a homeowner's taxable value until the home sells, then it resets. That's about $4,631 a year more than this seller pays. The assessor's state equalized value (SEV) is $47,900. 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 Detroit's 2025 homestead rate of 64.18 mills and assumes you claim the homestead exemption. See Detroit's full tax breakdown or run the uncapping calculator.
