1787 Academy Street Step inside and immediately appreciate the care and updates that have gone into this charming Ferndale Bungalow. A newly poured concrete walkway and attractive Trex entry steps welcome you to the front door, where you'll enter a bright and inviting 4 seasons room that has been updated with shiplap ceilings, and luxury vinyl plank flooring. The updates continue as you enter the living room, highlighted by a stylish electric fireplace with a custom mantle surround, creating the perfect focal point for relaxing evenings. Continue into the dining area and updated kitchen, where you'll find a modern backsplash and a full suite of stainless steel appliances, including the refrigerator, range/oven, microwave, and dishwasher. On the main level, you'll also enjoy having a bedroom and full bath for convenience when hosting. Head upstairs to discover one of the home's most desirable improvements. A former half bath has been converted into a full bathroom, creating two fully functional levels above grade. There are also new interior doors throughout the second level. The spacious primary bedroom features a walk-in closet, while the additional bedroom provides flexibility for a nursery, guests, or a home office. The finished basement expands your living space even further with a fourth bedroom and walk in closet, a recreation area, laundry, and plumbing already in place for a third bathroom. Mechanical updates include a furnace and central air system updated in 2020/2021. Outside, the fully fenced backyard offers plenty of room to enjoy MI summers and is complemented by a rare two-story, two-car detached garage. The garage's upper level has been improved with a rebuilt staircase and all new sub-flooring, making it ready to become the ultimate man cave. Combining thoughtful updates, expanded living space, and a prime location just minutes from downtown Ferndale, this move-in-ready home is one you won't want to miss!
