This beautiful, move-in-ready 4 bed 3 FULL bath home in the Independence Hills subdivision of Farmington Hills is the ONE. From the moment you pull up, you'll love the manicured lawn, wrap-around driveway, covered porch, and large brick patio. All on one of the BEST lots in the sub backing to the HUGE common area with walking trails, playgrounds, and tennis courts. The home was originally built with a 4th bedroom on the main floor next to a full bathroom - perfect for guests or an in-law suite (recently used as an office). You'll love cooking in the remodeled kitchen with new cabinets, counters, appliances, and flooring. The home also features refinished real hardwood floors, a new gas fireplace and polyaspartic garage floor. At night, retire to one of the three spacious bedrooms upstairs. And if you need more space, take advantage of the basement that's ready to be finished!
