In the original part of the home, the main residence includes 10-foot ceilings in the spacious living and dining rooms, abundant natural light from many large windows, recently refinished pine & oak floors, a newer cherry kitchen, two bedrooms, a first floor laundry, and two older baths. The house has a 1968 addition, which includes a large family room, 3rd bedroom, and upstairs office. Two second floor apartments, both ready to rent (but could also use updates) have a separate covered entrance and share a laundry room that's in an enclosed porch. Extensive mechanical updates to the house in 2025 include a new septic system, roof and gutters, updated electrical & plumbing, water heater, sump pump, main kitchen floor, and fresh paint throughout. The one and two bedroom apartments together generated $2,200/month in rent in 2024. The main floor could easily rent for $2,000/month or more, but would require bathroom updates and some carpeting/flooring before being offered. Price reflects updates and finishing touches likely desired in the farmhouse, and some maintenance neglected in the outbuildings. Conveniently located close to Ann Arbor, Saline, and Ypsilanti, with easy access to US-23, I-94, and Michigan Avenue/US-12. Parks nearby, with a bike/walking path in front of the house connecting to Ann Arbor and Saline. Saline Schools and Pittsfield Township taxes.
