Simple Exterior Hides The "Wow" Inside This $325,000 Home

PLEASANT RIDGE, MI -- This 3-bedroom, 1.5-bath house, located at 23 Maplefield Rd, Pleasant Ridge, looks ordinary on the outside - lovely perennial garden aside - but inside, there's plenty of "wow" to tempt potential homebuyers. When you enter the home, there's a a stair leading to the second floor with a closet charmingly tucked into the landing, and a built-in shoe cupboard. The large living room has hardwood floors and a fireplace with a stacked stone surround and a marble hearth. The living room leads into a dining room with built-in cabinetry. In this open floor plan, the dining room leads directly to the kitchen - a newly renovated chef's space with black-and-white Coldspring granite counters, a bevel edge subway tile backsplash, custom Kraft Maid cabinets, stainless steel appliances, a deep apron-front sink and a custom vent hood.

On the second level, there are three bedrooms and a fully remodeled bath with a large vanity, ceramic tile floors and a subway tile backsplash with tumbled marble accent walls. For added living space, there's a finished lower level. Other updates include new HVAC, a new water heater, 200 amp electric service, and a Nest thermostat system, so you can set the temp from your cell phone a thousand miles from home.
