Description

Set on 1.4 scenic acres in the desirable Berrien Springs area, this beautifully maintained custom brick farmhouse offers a rare blend of charm, versatility, and income potential. Originally built in 1887 with a thoughtful addition in 1975, the main residence features 1,887 sq. ft., 4 bedrooms, and 2 full baths, complemented by a full, dry partially finished basement. The home is well-equipped for comfortable living with first-floor laundry, a dedicated office space, 200-amp electrical service, whole-house water filtration, water softener, and individual room thermostats for efficient all-electric heating. Recent updates include luxury vinyl plank flooring (2024), newer appliances, and fresh exterior paint (2021 & 2024). A standout feature of this property is the detached 500 sq. ft. guest house/office located within a 32' x 48' pole barn, offering a full kitchen, living area with wood-burning stove, one bedroom, and full bath--ideal for guest quarters, rental income, or a private workspace. Combined, the property offers approximately 2,387 sq. ft. of year-round living space. Outdoor amenities include nicely landscaped grounds, Concord grape vines, and open land currently generating farm rental income. Two detached 1.5-car garage spaces provide ample storage and flexibility. Conveniently located within walking distance to Royalton Township Park and the Tri-Unit Fire Station, and just minutes from major routes, this property offers both privacy and accessibility. High-speed internet (Comcast/Xfinity) and natural gas are available at the road.
