**OFFERS DUE 7:30pm 6/2/24**Enjoy historic charm and modern convenience in this delightful 4bd all-brick Chesterfield Hills colonial, just steps from Michigan State University! The owners have thoughtfully preserved all the original architectural details including gleaming hardwood floors, original solid oak doors and archways while adding many modern updates for comfort and efficiency: new air conditioning, roof, and all (32!!) windows to name a few. The heart of the home is the beautifully renovated kitchen. Updated top to bottom in 2022 there are gorgeous quartz countertops, a gas range, microwave, dishwasher and wine refrigerator, recessed lighting and statement tile flooring! The spacious, light-filled formal dining room is the perfect place to gather; adjacent is the living room featuring a wood burning fireplace with gorgeous tile surround. You'll also find the fourth bedroom, complete with its own convenient half bath, on the first floor. Upstairs you'll find a master suite unlike any other occupying the former historic sleeping porch. With a sitting area and built-in closets, it's a serene retreat with a treehouse vibe. Floor-to-ceiling windows in the sleeping chamber provide picturesque views. An old-world bath with original tile and two additional bedrooms round out the second floor. Belly up to the cozy Irish-style bar in your new basement pub; there also is room or a game table and/or a media center in the nicely finished space. Outside you'll love the secluded back yard concrete patio and landscaping. A huge two car detached garage complements the property (almost impossible to find in this neighborhood!). Don't miss the magical bonus walk-up attic space with dormer window. This area could be transformed into another bedroom, adding even more value. Location-wise, you're within walking distance to MSU, bus lines, hiking and biking trails and shopping. Enjoy the best of both worlds on this quiet corner lot: classic elegance and modern amenities.
