440 Colonial, Grosse Pointe Farms, MI 48236

You've been searching for a move-in-ready Grosse Pointe Farms home that actually looks like the photos and this is that house! The classic red brick colonial on Colonial Court has been renovated where it counts. The redesigned family room opens to a chef's kitchen with a quartz waterfall island, GE Café gas range with professional hood, herringbone tile backsplash, white shaker cabinetry to the ceiling, Sharp microwave drawer, and stainless steel appliances — a home cooks and entertaining guests will immediately appreciate. The separate dining room with designer board-and-batten walls, built-in coffee bar, and gold sputnik chandelier is the kind of detail that photographs in your mind before it ever shows up online. The living room anchors the front of the home with a wood-burning fireplace, picture window seat overlooking the manicured front lawn, and hardwood floors that run throughout. The family room adds a second gas fireplace with a stacked-stone tile surround and custom floating wood shelves. Upstairs: 3 bedrooms including a dedicated home office with natural light and hardwood floors. A setup that works as well for focused work as it does for a guest room or creative space. The full bath has been updated with a floating espresso vanity, quartz countertop, and designer sconce lighting. A half bath on the main floor keeps daily life moving. The finished basement includes a bonus room and additional storage for more usable square footage than most comparables in this price range in Grosse Pointe Farms. Step outside and you have a complete outdoor living setup: brick paver patio with string lights, a separate stone fire pit area with Adirondack seating, raised-bed vegetable garden, and a detached 2-car garage, all on a private, fully fenced backyard designed for Michigan summers. And then there's the location. Grosse Pointe Farms sits in the top-ranked Grosse Pointe School District. Consistently recognized as one of the best public school districts in Michigan. Walk or bike to the Mack Avenue shops, or head to The Hill or The Village for coffee, dinner, and weekend errands. Lake St. Clair and the waterfront parks are minutes away. And it's a quick drive to Detroit, one of the great American cities, with everything it has to offer: world-class dining, sports, music, and culture. This is the kind of address people move to Grosse Pointe Farms for, and rarely leave.
