Beautifully updated and just a short walk from the heart of Franklin Village! Situated on a desirable corner lot with newly updated landscaping, 26091 German Mill Road offers an exceptional combination of location, character, and extensive improvements in one of Oakland County's most sought-after communities. This approximately 1,931-square-foot home features rich Brazilian cherry hardwood floors and a beautifully updated kitchen with new cabinetry, Viking range, and space designed for a counter-depth Sub-Zero refrigerator, allowing the new owner to select the refrigerator that best suits their style. Both bathrooms have been updated, and the improvements extend well beyond the finishes. The home features replacement windows, Hardie® plank exterior siding, a roof approximately seven years old, newer furnace and central air-conditioning system located in the attic, and a new water softener * The basement has a clean epoxy-coated floor and provides excellent additional space for storage, exercise equipment, hobbies, or future finishing. Outside, the newly refreshed landscaping and corner-lot setting enhance the home's curb appeal, while a detached two-car garage provides convenient parking and additional storage. Perhaps best of all is the location. Enjoy the charm and convenience of Franklin Village, with shops, dining, the Village Green, library, community events, and the iconic Franklin Cider Mill all nearby. Move-in ready, extensively updated, and ideally located, this home offers the character of Franklin Village along with many of the improvements today's buyers are looking for--all in a wonderful corner-lot setting. Owner is licensed Realtor in the state of Michigan. BATVAI, IDRBNG.
