About this House
Welcome to a charming modern farmhouse-inspired home that feels like it was pulled straight from a design magazine! This beautifully updated white home offers incredible curb appeal with lush hydrangeas, a classic split-rail style fence, and a welcoming front porch that invites you inside. The open-concept main level creates the perfect gathering space with a spacious living room, dining area, and kitchen featuring a stunning gas fireplace, updated cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, butcher block island, and a convenient walk-in pantry. The main floor laundry room adds both style and functionality with included washer and dryer, a utility sink, and direct access to the deck and backyard. A conveniently located half bathroom can be accessed from both the laundry room and main living area. The main floor primary suite provides a private retreat with a spacious bedroom, ensuite bathroom featuring double sinks, an oversized walk-in closet, and direct access to the backyard. Step outside to enjoy the beautifully landscaped and fully fenced yard, complete with a dining patio, established raspberry bushes, and a new vinyl privacy fence installed in 2025. A walkway leads to the detached two-car garage with alley access and additional parking space. Upstairs you'll find three additional bedrooms and a full bathroom with charming details including built-in bench seating, multiple closets, and extra storage space. The basement provides additional storage and storm protection, while major updates including the roof, siding, and HVAC were completed in 2019. Additional peace of mind comes with a radon mitigation system already in place. With its blend of character, modern updates, thoughtful design, and incredible outdoor space, this home offers a rare combination of charm and functionality. All appliances stay!

4/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageShepherd Middle is an excellent school catering to the needs of all it's students! I'm impressed with the leadership of the principal and the involvement of the teachers and staff. It is a safe, consistent school and offers kids lots of experiences to get involved! Parents are encouraged to get involved and are always made to feel welcome!Parent Review15y ago - Ottawa Township High School

3/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageStay very far away from this school if you have a child on the spectrum. Their lack of knowledge, training and capabilities for teaching a student on the spectrum is totally mind blowing. The worst part is that they know this and don't care. Their excuse is we don't have the facilities to provide the students with what they need and they send them off to alternative placement. They also rely heavily on the school resource officer to intervene as a method of response to student behavior (and don't inform the parents.) They have no idea how to even perform a functional behavior analysis in order to address any behaviors and develop a successful behavior intervention plan. The administration only cares about covering their own bottoms against any liability or infractions of IDEA. We are very involved in providing the necessary supports to allow our kiddo the best chance of even surviving in this crazy world and this school, staff and administration just proves that ignorance is a lot easier to justify than incompetence. In writing this review I am actually doing the school a favor by trying to detour you from sending your kiddo here but please don't put them through it just to have them do an alternative placement in the end. Trust me we tried and the regression was unbearable. In general the commitment to students at this school is unfathomable. Take a look at their accounting web page and see what the teachers and administration are paid and you will understand what they really care about.Parent Review11mo ago
