Property Description

There’s something about a fresh start that changes how a home feels. Not just a place to live, but somewhere that’s already settled, easy, and entirely yours. This fully updated ranch on Somerset in Grosse Pointe Park delivers exactly that; thoughtfully reimagined and ready to enjoy without compromise. Set mid-block on a quiet, well-kept street, the home makes a strong first impression. A full roof tear-off in 2023, new black shingles, updated shutters, and new entry doors give the exterior a clean, cohesive look that feels current while still fitting the neighborhood. The new cement driveway and back entry lead to a brand new oversized two-car garage with a double-wide door. Practical upgrades that make everyday living easier. Inside, natural light fills a bright, cohesive main level. Hardwood floors run through most of the space, complemented by fresh paint, updated lighting, and crown molding that adds a finished, polished feel. The kitchen stands out with light gray maple cabinetry, quartz countertops, and stainless appliances: modern, functional, and designed for real use. The layout flows comfortably, offering connection between spaces without feeling too open. Three bedrooms on the main level carry the same level of finish and consistency, each feeling complete and move-in ready. The main bathroom has been fully renovated with a step-in shower, rain head, and custom cabinetry. Clean, modern, and practical. The finished basement extends the home in a meaningful way. With durable commercial-grade vinyl plank flooring, a second full bathroom, and a separate laundry/utility area, it adds flexible space for living, working, or hosting. Major mechanical updates include a high-efficiency furnace and hot water tank, both installed in 2023, along with added attic insulation for improved efficiency and comfort year-round. Outside, the backyard has been fully reworked with proper grading, tree and root removal, French drains, and new sod, creating a space that’s not just attractive, but built to last. Cedar fencing, a black aluminum driveway gate, and updated exterior lighting complete the setting. The location adds another layer of appeal. Just minutes from the downtown Grosse Pointe Park area, you have easy access to local restaurants, cafés, hair salons, and bookstores, making it simple to enjoy the neighborhood without needing to go far. It’s the kind of setting that blends quiet residential living with everyday convenience. With over $180,000 in improvements, this home represents a true top-to-bottom update. Located near Defer Elementary and Pierce Middle School, it combines convenience, quality, and a strong neighborhood feel. This is a home where everything has been done—and done right, so you can simply move in and start your next chapter.
