Guess The Price of This Home! Full Walkthrough Tour

Can you guess the price of this Lakes of Northville home? Join me for a full walkthrough tour of this move-in ready 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath home with over 2,700 square feet in one of Northville, Michigan's most sought-after neighborhoods. I've been selling homes in Lakes of Northville for 24 years and over 8,000 transactions, and I can tell you this one won't last long. I filmed during the polar vortex (literally one degree outside) because winter is actually the perfect time to spot seal pops on windows. This home has none. What makes this home stand out: completely redone bathrooms with subway tile and raised vanities, updated kitchen with thick granite and newer appliances, original hardwood floors in excellent condition, gas fireplace insert, custom closet organizers throughout, first-floor laundry, and a maintenance-free Trex deck worth $15,000-$30,000. The basement features a dual sump pump system with battery backup and alarm, plus an Ever Dry waterproofing system with transferable lifetime warranty ($75/year to maintain). High-efficiency furnace with direct vent, you can tell by the PVC exhaust stack, keeps Michigan heating bills manageable. How much are homes in Lakes of Northville? This neighborhood on the north side of Six Mile typically sees larger homes (2,500-3,000 sq ft) compared to south side neighborhoods averaging 2,200-2,400 sq ft. Northville Schools district. Two miles to 275, easy 96 access, minutes to downtown Northville. Why location matters: Being on the east side near Haggerty Road saves 20-25 minutes on commutes to Ford in Dearborn, GM downtown, or the proving grounds versus homes near Beck or Napier Roads.
