22131 Military Street

Some homes have history. Others have updates. This one has nearly a century of stories and a remarkable list of improvements to carry it through the next hundred years. Built in 1927 and tucked into Dearborn's Ford Homes Historic District, this beautiful Colonial has been cared for with a level of detail that's hard to put into words. The owners have spent years updating nearly every inch while keeping the character that makes an older home special. Original bedroom doorknobs? Still here. The 100-year-old bathroom tile? Carefully preserved. Outdated plumbing? Not a galvanized pipe left in sight. With 2,130 square feet, three bedrooms, two full baths, and a finished basement, there's room to spread out. The living room has a fireplace, a charming reading nook, and beautiful hardwood floors. The updated kitchen opens to a dining area and comfortable family room. Upstairs, even the heating and cooling have been thoughtfully improved with updated ductwork and a booster fan. And the improvements! Roof, windows, A/C, furnace, plumbing, siding, insulation, kitchen, baths, and more. Even the pull-down attic ladder is new, leading to a nearly finished space above. Outside, a 20'x20' deck, sunroom with an included hot tub, and insulated two-car garage add even more to love. But perhaps the best spot is the front porch. Picture a warm summer evening, a cold glass of lemonade, and neighbors strolling by with a friendly hello. Just minutes from Michigan Avenue restaurants, Greenfield Village, and The Henry Ford Museum, this is a home where history has been respected, the hard work has been done, and the next chapter is ready to begin.
