From the moment you pull into the wide drive and see the attached three-stall garage, you'll sense the care that's gone into every detail. Step through the breezeway - bright with new tile, custom built-in benches, and warm lighting - and you'll find yourself in a home that feels both new and comfortably lived-in. The kitchen has been reimagined with painted cabinetry, custom butcher-block counters, updated appliances, and an extended layout that now accommodates a dishwasher. Fresh backsplash tile and lighting add a touch of polish, while wide windows fill the space with natural light. The main level offers cozy living spaces with fresh paint, new ceiling lighting, and a gentle flow that encourages gathering. Both main-floor bedrooms feature new carpet, fixtures, and a refreshed full bath with an updated vanity and flooring. Upstairs, two additional bedrooms and a newly added full bath give the home flexibility for guests, hobbies, or a quiet office retreat - each space brightened by new flooring, fixtures, and added ductwork for year-round comfort. Behind the scenes, the home has seen extensive foundational and mechanical upgrades: the basement was waterproofed, reinforced with carbon-fiber straps, and painted; the electrical system was upgraded to a 100-amp panel; the sump pump, appliances, and water heater are all newer; and the insulated garage makes every Michigan season more manageable. Outdoors, professional grading, drainage, and fencing have transformed the backyard into a low-maintenance retreat. Every inch of this home has been touched with purpose - balancing durability, style, and comfort. Whether you're sipping coffee in the bright kitchen, or watching the seasons change from your spacious yard, 9981 Riley Street feels like the kind of home that simply makes sense - a cozy, modern haven ready to be loved.
