About This Home

As of August 2025

Move-in ready home on over two beautiful acres offers the best of both worlds with a private setting and close proximity to downtown Dexter. This three bed, two full bath farmhouse has been thoughtfully updated throughout the years and is ready for its next owner. The cozy living room features a wood burning stove and opens up to a spacious kitchen with plenty of storage space and newer granite countertops. A recently updated first floor bathroom features a zellige-tiled shower/tub combo and roomy vanity. The open family room lets in plenty of natural light and leads to a first floor bedroom. Upstairs boasts two freshly painted bedrooms and a newer full bathroom with a stand-up shower and tile flooring. The basement has ample room for storage and a finished rec space. Outside you'll find a hobby farmer's dream with multiple outbuildings and infrastructure for a wide range of endeavors. Award winning Dexter schools and low Webster Township taxes make this a can't miss opportunity!
