A Warm New Home In Bedford Township

There s something to be said for getting in on the ground floor to be the first to take advantage of an opportunity. To be a part of something from the outset that s only going to get better.

The Prairie Woods subdivision, off Sterns Road in Bedford Township, Michigan, is just such an opportunity. Wehrle Development, Ltd. has created an affordable neighborhood, including public water and sewer, sidewalks and landscaping. Bedford is one of the fastest-growing areas of southeastern Michigan, in large part because of its proximity to Toledo just 20 minutes from downtown coupled with low taxes and utilities.

The home at 401 Sunfish Lane represents a warm, inviting way to become a part of this new neighborhood. Even in winter weather, it s not hard to imagine a summertime scene: enjoying a glass of lemonade on the large front porch, sitting in a hanging swing with your feet up on the rail. Waving to the neighbors as they stroll by. Washing the car on the large driveway.

But while location, location, location are the first three rules of real estate, when it comes right down to it, a home must be livable. And the home at 401 Sunfish Lane does not disappoint.

Walk through the front door with sidelights into the tiled entry. To your right is the stairway to the second floor. Straight ahead is a spacious closet with bi-fold doors. And to the left is the very welcoming living room.

This handsome room has a large window facing the front, a lovely neutral carpet and a beautiful gas fireplace in one corner. An oak shelf creates a mantel above the fireplace; the surround is marble tile. Just across from it is a pass-through to the kitchen.

At the rear of the living room is the dining room. A single window here overlooks the back. From the dining room, it is just steps to the kitchen.

The kitchen is large and airy, with plenty of space for casual dining. Countertops are in a beautiful quartz which shows off the white cabinetry to perfection. There is a sliding door to the large lot outside. A shelved pantry provides plenty of storage.

A hallway off the kitchen leads to the two-car garage, the steps to the full basement, and to a powder room.

Now for the second floor. A large linen closet at the top of the stairs? Not at all it s the utility closet. That s right. This user-friendly home features second-floor laundry facilities. No more traipsing up and down steps with heavy baskets, leaving trails of socks in your wake. Wash it, dry it, fold it, and hang it up all within steps of each other.

Across the hall is a full bath, and next to that is the sunlight-filled master bedroom. This room features a large, walk-in closet, and its own full bath.

The two remaining bedrooms each have spacious double closets and windows overlooking the back. A linen closet is located in the hallway.

Over the garage is a large, unfinished bonus room. This would make an ideal media room or playroom, or even an extra bedroom.

The home, like the neighborhood and the township itself, has so many possibilities. Come and experience them all for yourself.
