About This Home

As of October 2019

Updated and VERY cute home downtown Berrien. Quiet neighborhood off the beaten path yet close to shopping, campus life and M-139. This charmer has a new kitchen, new carpet and flooring and lends itself to formal entertaining!! Although a 2 bedroom the basement has been designed for use as a 3rd bedroom and since it has a second full bath already why not use it the same way the seller has used it!! Depending upon family size and lifestyle the basement can also be used for extended fireside and entertaining space. Come check out what opportunities this one has to offer!!
