About This Home
As of November 2017This wonderful 4 bedroom Craftsman located in Fulton Heights features a popular balance of urban walkability and a slightly slower uptown neighborhood pace. You'll meet all of your neighbors from your large front porch, grow veggies in the back, avoid the snow in the two stall garage and relax on the deck with fenced yard. At the end of the street, Fuller Park features a popular dog park, also separate picnic tables, basketball courts and softball. Across the street Hillcrest Community Garden is one of the largest in Michigan. The home features large living areas, hardwood floors, oak trim and comes with a newer furnace, roof, a main floor guest bath and second floor main bath. The owners look forward to passing this gem to the next buyer and hope they experience just as much enjoyment.
