About this home
Welcome to 3749 Cumberland Road, a timeless 1950 two-story brick Colonial offered to the market for the very first time by its original single owner. Nestled on a quiet, tree-lined street in the highly desirable St. John Woods neighborhood, this 1,711-square-foot home balances classic character with an incredible canvas for your personal updates. Step inside to discover a classic floor plan featuring 3 well-proportioned bedrooms, 1 full bath, and a main-floor half bath. Original hardwood floors run throughout the entire home--including underneath the current carpeted areas--just waiting to be uncovered and refinished to their full luster. Beyond the main living spaces, a light-filled rear sunroom offers a peaceful retreat for morning coffee, indoor plant displays, or evening relaxation and is heated/cooled for year round enjoyment. Downstairs, the 756-square-foot finished basement expands your functional living area, making it ideal for a recreation room, home office, or fitness space complemented by a brand new washer and dryer and plenty of storage. Built with enduring solid brick construction, the home offers exceptional modern convenience and ultimate peace of mind. Thoughtful mechanical additions include a tankless hot water heater for endless hot water, a whole-house surge protector to safeguard your appliances, and an included Champion generator to keep your home running smoothly through any seasonal Michigan weather. The home also features natural gas forced-air heating, central air conditioning, and a detached 1-car garage on a low-maintenance 46x120 lot. Situated in a vibrant, highly walkable community with top-rated Berkley Public Schools, you'll enjoy quick access to Twelve Mile Road dining, boutique shopping, and nearby parks. Whether you plan to preserve its mid-century character or execute a modern transformation, this cherished property offers the ultimate layout, prime location, and solid structure to build lasting equity.
Johns Woods, located between 12 Mile Rd and Catalpa Dr, is a residential and walkable Berkley neighborhood with tree-lined blocks and mid-century ranches. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the 12 Mile Rd and Coolidge Hwy crossroads, where sidewalk patios, small storefronts, and evening foot traffic set the tone. Housing leans toward tidy postwar bungalows and brick ranches with deep lawns and mature maples. A short walk leads to the Berkley Coffee & Taps counter and the marquee at the Berkley Theatre, both local fixtures. Nearby, Vinsetta Garage adds a classic Detroit-area diner-bar feel. Pocket parks and school grounds stitch the streets into a calm, lived-in grid.
