What's special

Full walk-out basementOpen back deckSound of birdsFirst floor ensuiteOver-sized covered front porchView of nature

Dexter Schools and Webster Township taxes make this private retreat the perfect spot away from HOA rules! Enjoy the view of nature and the sound of birds, instead of houses and lawn mowers. There is nothing as functional as a cape cod and this one comes with 4 bedrooms, a first floor ensuite, first floor laundry with wash sink and full walk-out basement to finish if you need more space. Since 2019, the sellers have done all the 'majors' for you: hooked up to natural gas; replaced furnace, water heater, windows, deck boards, new carpet on the second floor, lifeproof vinyl on the entry level. For outdoor living an over-sized covered front porch (porch swing is included with the sale!) and open back deck double your summer living areas!
