***HIGHEST AND BEST DUE SATURDAY, AUGUST 15TH, AT 9PM*** Novi living hits a little different when the house actually gives you room to enjoy it. Morning coffee on the covered front porch, summer evenings on the patio, food trucks rolling through the neighborhood, and a location that makes dinner in Downtown Northville, a night at Fountain Walk, or a quick trip to Plymouth feel completely reasonable on a random Tuesday. Add easy highway access, nearby parks and bike trails, and suddenly your weekends have options. Back home, this 3-bedroom, 1.1-bath ranch in Meadowbrook Glens keeps everyday life simple in the best way. The open layout actually feels connected, with hardwood floors, crown molding, recessed lighting and a paneled accent wall adding personality along the way. The updated kitchen brings white cabinetry, granite counters, subway tile, farmhouse sink, black hardware and a breakfast bar that opens directly to the family room. Translation: nobody cooking dinner gets exiled from the conversation. A large sliding door leads straight to the fenced backyard and patio, ready for grilling, kids, dogs, friends, or doing absolutely nothing outside for a while. Downstairs, the spacious finished basement gives you approximately 600 additional finished square feet for movie nights, a playroom, game room, gym, office or whatever phase of life comes next. The practical stuff has gotten attention too, with new bedroom and bathroom windows in 2020, a new sump pump, and radon mitigation system completed in 2024, plus a new garage door motor in 2026. Add the 2-car attached garage, Novi schools and quick access to Downtown Novi, Northville and Plymouth, and this one starts making a very convincing argument for booking the showing before somebody else does.
