About This Home

A Renovated Ranch on Just Over an Acre in Cranbrook Estates

Tucked into Cranbrook Estates in Marion Township, this 1993 ranch was comprehensively renovated through 2022 and 2023 before its 2024 listing. The kitchen anchors the main level with granite counters, a farm sink, and counter-to-ceiling backsplash, opening to a dining area and a vaulted-ceiling living room with a brick gas fireplace. First-floor laundry, four bedrooms, and two full baths round out the layout.

The primary suite was rebuilt during the renovation: a tiled walk-in shower, soaking tub, double vanity, and dual walk-in closets, with door-wall access to the deck spanning the back of the home. Downstairs, the finished walkout basement adds a 16-by-22 game room and a fourth bedroom, both with new carpet and paint. Outside, the home sits on a level 1.03-acre parcel with a deck, covered porch, mature lawn, and a storage shed.

Market Context
Sold to a VA buyer in early 2024 at a price that delivered a return over the seller's 2023 acquisition cost, in a Michigan market where margins on renovation projects were narrowing through that period. VIVID represented the original buyer in the 2023 acquisition and the seller in the 2024 resale.
