3160 Dorais Drive NE

Set between Lamberton and Emerald Lakes with walking distance to the water, this all-brick ranch offers nearly 2/3 acre on one of the largest flat lots in the neighborhood. 2,824 sq ft of finished living space across all levels, with a total footprint of 3,354 sq ft. The basement adds two dedicated spaces rarely found at this price: a half-finished workshop and a bonus room with sink and shower. Both are move-in ready for a hobbyist, home gym, or flex use. The 8.0 kW solar system is fully paid off with no liens and keeps the average electric bill around $14 a month. New Pella windows throughout, new front door, new water heater, updated plumbing and electrical, recently replaced rear deck and more -- most updates completed within the last four years.

The neighborhood is hard to replicate. Dorais Drive borders a nature preserve and two lakes, has no through traffic, and is lined with mature oak trees. No future development will change what's around you. The solar system is fully paid off and averages $14 a month in electric bills. Each panel has its own microinverter and the system includes Enphase Sunlight Back-Up, meaning the home runs on solar alone during grid outages with no battery or generator needed. Panels are warrantied through 2047 and already wired for battery storage if you want to add it later. Construction quality includes all-brick exterior, copper piping, original-growth lumber framing, and large windows throughout. The Pella Rolscreen windows let you remove screens completely when you don't need them. The water runs through two treatment systems. Softened first, then filtered through an Iron Curtain Jr. that removes iron and manganese using only air. No chemicals. Bike to Meijer, the White Pine Trail, and Riverside Park. Short drive to Frederik Meijer Gardens and easy access to I-96, US-131, and I-196. Lake Michigan beaches under an hour. This is a home that has been lived in carefully and improved consistently. The work is done and you get to enjoy it.
