House Brings The 1920s Charm And Quirky Kitchen For $309,900

BERKLEY, MI -- Built in 1920, this house located at 2993 Kenmore Rd has oodles of charm, which you notice from the minute you step up the the deep, covered front porch with its views of the tree-lined street. Imagine sitting on this porch in the summer, drinking lemonade while neighbors pass on bikes or walk their dogs. Inside, there's a large living room and a tall staircase with a white-painted banister. A brick fireplace surrounded by built-in bookshelves with glass doors and topped by a dark wood mantel that runs the entire width of the room anchors the space. Original sconce lights flank the fireplace, adding character in an already charming room. There are hardwood floors throughout the home, not to mention original solid interior doors.

The large formal dining room has a door wall out to a multi-level back deck, a great space for summer barbecues with friends and family. The kitchen has had some clever updates and includes some stainless steel appliances, open shelving, and a subway tile backsplash. The room has deep blue accents, and a commercial-grade gas range and oven. Upstairs, there are three bedrooms and an updated bath that maintains the original clawfoot soaking tub. The master bedroom also has two walk-in closets, and an entire wall of built in bookshelves, so there's lots of storage. A finished lower level offers added living space, and includes a half bath, and a laundry/utility area.
