PRICE IMPROVEMENT 🚨

28399 Palmer Boulevard,
Madison Heights 48071-4530

Welcome to this exceptionally well cared for one-owner home in the George A. Karam Subdivision, where more than 70 years of pride of ownership can be felt throughout. Offering 3 bedrooms and 1.5 bathrooms, this home has been thoughtfully maintained and improved over the decades while preserving the character that makes it so special. A standout feature is the expanded layout, including both an extended kitchen and a spacious family room with a wood-burning stove, providing more living and gathering space than many homes in the subdivision. Original hardwood floors remain beneath the carpeting, offering exciting potential for future updates while maintaining the home’s original charm. Downstairs, the finished basement adds even more usable space with new vinyl plank flooring, a built-in bar, and plenty of room for entertaining, recreation, hobbies, or storage. Recent improvements also include replaced sewer drains for added peace of mind, while the newly improved street adds to the appeal outside. Conveniently located just minutes from shopping, restaurants, everyday amenities, and major roadways, this meticulously maintained home is a rare opportunity to own a property that has been loved and cared for by the same owner for more than seven decades and is ready to begin its next chapter.
