About This Home

As of July 2026

Fully renovated home just short walk from the heart of Downtown Brighton offering the rare combination of modern updates, character, and an unbeatable in-town lifestyle. On a double lot with room for a garage given city approval, you will enjoy easy access to local restaurants, coffee shops, the farmers market, Mill Pond, and all of the events that make downtown Brighton such a sought-after place to live. The home has been thoughtfully updated from top to bottom while maintaining the charm and personality you can't find in a new build. Step inside to find fresh paint, updated trim, new luxury vinyl plank flooring, and new carpeting throughout, creating a bright, cohesive feel from room to room. The main living spaces feel warm and inviting, blending modern finishes with carefully preserved vintage details that add character and tell a story. The fully renovated kitchen features updated cabinetry, fixtures, and finishes designed for today's lifestyle, while the updated bathrooms offer a clean, timeless aesthetic. Outside, the improvements continue with newly painted exterior siding, a huge covered front porch, and deck - creating welcoming outdoor spaces to enjoy morning coffee, entertain friends, or simply relax at the end of the day. Move-in ready and beautifully updated, this home offers the opportunity to enjoy all the conveniences of downtown living without sacrificing the charm and warmth of a true Brighton original.
