2288 Franklin Rd Berkley, MI 48072

HIGHEST + BEST FRIDAY, MARCH 6 @ 5PM. Absolutely charming, must-see Berkley bungalow. Homeowners are artists and woodworkers and have created a calming, nature-inspired living space within walking distance of some of Berkley’s excellent restaurants, shops and schools. The home features 3 spacious bedrooms and 2 full, wonderfully updated baths. The living room has a large, divided window with a southern exposure that absolutely lights up on sunny days, which flows into a surprisingly large dining room for entertaining. The kitchen has been updated with modern finishes on the floor and the counters and includes a 4-burner Jenn-Air down-draft gas stove with an interchangeable indoor gas grill setup for cooking steaks in the winter! The fully finished basement is a one-of-a-kind work of art. Birch paneling has been thoughtfully designed from the side door landing leading into the main space of the basement to create a mix of shape and grain direction that gives a sense of movement as you walk through. The basement also features a bar sink and a full bathroom with custom tile work, a heated floor and towel warmer. The spacious 3-season sunroom is perfect for relaxing or entertaining and has a newer tile floor and cedar paneling. There are also two outside entertaining spaces off the sunroom – a brick paver patio on one side and an exposed aggregate patio that connects to the two-car garage on the other. The back yard has recently had a cedar privacy fence custom built, incorporating black vinyl chain link fencing for a neat look. The landscaping gets many compliments from neighbors and is mostly planted in perennials with lots of flowers and grasses that return year after year. The cozy property has an amazing amount of storage space – from the cedar closet in the primary bedroom to the tool room hidden behind wood paneled doors in the basement – and even the garage is built for storage with slat walls & lots of space overhead. This adorable home is an absolute stunner.
