There’s potential here! Ready to roll up your sleeves and open your checkbook? This far-out 1972 ranch home is waiting for you. 1,914 square feet on the main floor plus a full walkout basement with egress windows, this home has plenty of space to stretch out. Still rockin’ its original kitchen and vintage ceramic tile in the bathrooms, this home is a true time capsule—and priced to reflect it. Listed at just $157/sq ft, well below SEV, this home needs it’s sparkle back. Hang out by the double-sided brick fireplaces—one in the groovy living room and another in the sprawling great room with its vaulted ceiling and three sliding glass doors leading to the deck. The white-washed brick exterior brings curb appeal, and the Honeywell whole-house generator (2017) keeps things humming no matter the weather. Newer well (2022), new roof (2024), boiler is about 5 years old. No HOA here—you’ve got freedom to create your own homestead, complete with a 2-story 36' x 20' barn (roll-up door, concrete floor, and water) and even a chicken coop for fresh morning eggs. You'll love the easy access to Kensington Metropark and I-96/US-23 for commuting or weekend adventures. Brighton Schools. Whether you’re into gardening or just vibing in your own private slice of countryside, this one’s got solid bones and endless potential. Come see it and bring your vision! Due to condition, home is being sold as-is and we encourage cash or private financing offers only.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
