Nestled on the highly desirable "M" Streets of Grosse Pointe Farms, this classic 3-bedroom, 1.1-bath colonial blends timeless character with thoughtful updates throughout. Beautiful hardwood floors, abundant natural light, and a well-designed floor plan create a warm and inviting atmosphere from the moment you enter. The updated kitchen serves as the heart of the home, flowing effortlessly into the formal dining room, front living room, and spacious rear family room, offering exceptional spaces for both everyday living and entertaining. Updated bathrooms and numerous mechanical improvements further enhance the home's appeal. Significant updates include newer windows, furnace, and central air conditioning (2021), providing comfort and peace of mind for years to come. The basement presents an excellent opportunity to create additional finished living space while maintaining ample storage. Outside, a generously sized backyard and detached two-car garage complete the property. Ideally situated near neighborhood parks, shopping, dining, and the vibrant amenities of both The Village and The Hill, this is an opportunity to enjoy one of Grosse Pointe Farms' most sought-after locations.

The Hill, located between Kercheval Avenue and Lake Shore Drive, is a walkable and boutique Grosse Pointe Farms neighborhood with a village-style shopping strip and leafy residential blocks. The neighborhood’s character concentrates along Kercheval Avenue at Fisher Road, where sidewalk patios, specialty shops, and polished storefronts set a steady, social pace. Local pillars include The Hill Seafood & Chop House, The Cheese Shop, and Grosse Pointe Theatre. Streets nearby feature early-20th-century colonials and tidy brick homes with deep setbacks and mature trees. Lake St. Clair’s shoreline and pocket parks shape the daily rhythm with water views and breezy routes. The compact layout supports errands on foot and a café-and-dinner routine without leaving the district.
