About This Home

As of April 2026

An excellent option for buyers looking for a convenient location near town. This mostly updated home offers recent improvements including, a bathroom upgrade, roof 3 years old, paint, trim and carpeting while still leaving room for your personal touches. The floor plan flows nicely between the spacious family room with a fireplace to the dining area off the kitchen which also has a breakfast bar and outside to the deck and back yard. The unfinished basement provides plenty of extra storage as well as a laundry room complete with a washer and dryer. Niles is a welcoming southwest Michigan community of roughly 12,000 residents and is located near the Indiana border and South Bend area, offering a mix of small-town charm and access to larger city amenities
